From Archive Report 2006:
Hearths F.2061 & F.2075
Placed on top of hearth surface (12820) and no doubt deliberately left there was grindstone fragment (12805), this again a repeated pattern that we shall return too. The removal of the upper hearth plaster revealed levelling demolition deposits (12833/12837) these in turn sealing the lower hearth sequence F.2075. Reflecting the oven sequence the lower hearth had two phases as represented by plaster surface and make-up, respectively (12844) and (12845) that sealed burnt hearth floor and plaster walls (12850) and (12851). Beneath this a square strip of mud brick provided the ‘rough-out’ moulding for the initial construction phase. |
