Unit 2751

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: construction packing 

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

Dimensions: 0.97 m N-S x 0.8 m E-W x 8 mm thick 

Discussion: This deposit showed up clearly in section (97/366) as being some kind of bedding for the oven 82 structure. The matrix was quite distinct, thick, homogenous, dense and sandy, same as (2309) to the east and possibly the same event as (2717) although any relationship had been lost through animal burrowing. However on digging the deposit wasn't as consistent as first appeared and its relationship with the surrounding (2756) is also unclear due to heavy cracking.

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.
