Well-plastered oven with roof still in place over oven mouth at north.
Household oven constructed through wall F2509 when space 299 is taken in to occupation by building 65.
From archive report, 2006:
Oven F2090
The oven within the building was well preserved with a portion of the roof surviving above the entrance (Fig. 79). The sequence of use and construction was fairly straightforward but long, so a brief summary is presented here from latest to earliest. The oven had been partially demolished, this material sealing a charcoal/use deposit (13373), this lay above the only floor of the oven floor (14074). Another deposit within the oven worth mentioning was stone packing deposit (14078) set under compact mortar (14077). The incorporation of the stones was possibly for heat retention, however, if these stones had been were found in any other context we would be calling it a special deposit but here there presence would appear functional. Removal of the oven along with floor (13380) revealed the base of an earlier oven F.2600, this partially cut into wall F.2509. |
