Unit 23773

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: ovens' base 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: This is an oven base located in S part of B 150 (S part of the Trench 4). The oven was relatively large (0,95 x 0,60 cm) and the base was pretty solid. It was slightly sloping North. It was constructed directly on the base of an earlier oven's base (unit 23936), which was even more solid. It was easily removed from the underlying surface. It seems that it was the latest phase of rebuilding this oven on the very same spot.
