Unit 31181

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: burnt plaster,oven / fire installation 

Data Category Information: Location: building

Discussion: This layer was recognized by ist orange-copper colour. It has a 3/4 circular shape, the rest beeing hidden by the non excavated area behind N-S a W-E section. It is surrounded by the sticking out underlying white plaster 31174. It is up to 1 cm thick and mixed with particels of ashes (grey dark). On top of it was fill 31188, wich was however hard to separate from it. This burnt layer might indicate a kind of five installation, though it is thinner and it is "smaller" would not speak for a regular use. Maybe it is only burnt plaster, be it on a local basis or on the whole unpreserved layers.
