Unit 2860

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: lining/oven 

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

Dimensions: 0.75 m N-S x 0.75 m E-W x 0.21 m high 

Discussion: Distinctive red "lining" to oven, where in situ to north and east forming a partial dome, to south in the form of a vertical wall. Apperas to contain traces of fibrous material, or impressions? Red colour presumably due to heating , difference between this material and the "outer lining" (2843) maybe due to differential heating or due to a different construction material being used in the first place. 

Recognition: Seen in a section at E end where CC had partially excavated in 1997 season. Also seen on S side where linging forms wall of oven. Distinctive pale red colour very easy to recognise. 

Definition: Clear definition, colour/texture and contrast with layers (2852) and (2843). 

Execution: Trowel.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
