Unit 14811

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: hearth structure,oven 

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

Dimensions: 0.40m (E-W) x 0.65m (N-S) x 0.21m (high) 

Discussion: oven structure, western wall, probably in situ
badly truncated on west side by pit, which makes original shape ambiguous
overlying an earlier oven structure
some evidence for stone lining on inner face 

Recognition: ambiguous boundaries, but can't be anything else 

Definition: ambiguou boundaries, outside defined by fills inside 

Execution: plan, troweled, sampled etc 

Condition: cool, dusty, slight breeze 

Consistency: cemented and compact. Fairly homogenous (some bricky material mixed in - orange) 

Colour: light grey brown with orange patches 

Texture: sandy silt

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.
