Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous

 

Dimensions: 0.45 x 0.4 x 0.1m 

 

Discussion: Backfill of FI once it had gone out of use, containing much decayed structural material, plaster and (especially) burnt orange brick, including some large fragments of each: scrappy brick by north section and plaster lump removed as sample 26. The remains of a small fragment of surface of the mud-brick suggests it may be part of the superstructure of the FI, whereas the plaster looks more like wall plaster.
