Unit 2749

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: scorched oven floor 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: baked; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 0.88 m N-S x 0.4 m E-W x 10 mm thick 

Discussion: Originally I believed this might be the same deposit as the constructional lining to this oven, differentiated by higher degrees of localised burning. However the basal boundary was v. clear and also v. different in composition. Its probably the same event/deposition as (2743) which was the crust on top. Fills a very, very shallow scoop with a good defined edge to south but peters out northwards.
