Unit 2848

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: collapse 

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

Dimensions: 0.35 m x 0.35 m, up to 15 mm thick 

Discussion: Collapsed lining material. The same material as (2843) but lying horizontally. What was the original difference between this material and underlying (2851) possibly due to difference in temperature when oven in use, but appears to me , because of difference in consistency, that must have been a difference between these two layers originally? With (2848) and (2851) although apparently collapsed, ie no longer in situ structure, feel that may not have collapsed very far. The material, although broken up, fitted together well, no substantial gaps and no overlap of material. 

Recognition: Layer previously identified in 1997 season by CC- no. as 2003. Recog. from plans and unit sheet and confirmed by CC. 

Definition: Well defined, although edge planned on S side represents where layer visible within edge of oven structure and presumably continues. 

Execution: Trowel, 1/2 sectioned initially. 

Condition: Dry and sunny. 

Consistency: loose 

Colour: 10 YR 4/4 olive brown (when dry) 

Texture: fine silt

Inclusions: n/a 

Post-depositional Features: n/a 

Basal Boundary: constructional or change in depsoit due to heat/abrupt/distinct/flat/smooth

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
