Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: re-used superstructure; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Dimensions: c. 2-3 mm thick, irregular patches 

 

Discussion: patches of baked mud /clay lining adhering to roof + sides of oven, fragmentary and flaky and therefore not continuos. on excavation found lining comprised many lining which were difficult to treat lens by lens (should pick it up in the west section). Basic composition was very rich in phytoliths.
