Unit 30012

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: 1st baked oven floor and make-up 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: baked; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Discussion: First floor and make-up under oven superstructure, within the N wall F.3682. The blackened surface (floor) and greyish brown, slightly rubified make-up underneath have been excavated. The top was very scorched, and few charcoal remains have been found. Towards the back of the oven and orangish clay packing was placed, probably to mark the closure of this fire installation. This layer probably corresponds to the hearth layers of F.7345, although in this case they were probably truncated before the construction of the later N wall F.3681. 

Consistency: Firm, but very crumbly 

Colour: Very dark (blackish) brown 

Texture: Silty clay 

Bedding: Compound layered: floor (0.5cm) and make-up layer below (1.5cm) 

Inclusions: Microcharcoal, especially abundant towards the top, 20% occurrence. 

Post-depositional Features: Extremely bioturbated by rodent burrowing 

Basal Boundary: Sharp, prominent, smooth to slightly irregular, constructional
