Interpretive Categories: oven floor 

 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: baked; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

 

Discussion: This layer is considerably more consolidated than those above and lies directly over what may be an oven floor of very compacted dark material. This unit may represent a replacement floor overlying previous ones. The part of this layer abutting the oven wall may represent a plaster lining of the wall (about 1 cm thick) but is impossible to distinguish from the rest of the unit material (can be seen more clearly in the layers below). 

 

Recognition: layer of hearth fill or possibly floor with a very light colour - possibly high plaster content. Very dark layers above and below. 

Definition: Clear colour contrast. 

Execution: Trowelled in plan. 

Condition: Dry.

Colour: light greyish white 

Texture: loam 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: small gravel pieces <5% 

Post-depositional Features: none
