Unit 30277
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: oven base
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: brick; Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: The base of the oven (f. 3955) was made of a number of superimposed layers. The top part comprised of a thin layer of plaster which formed the surface of the oven base. The following make up layer was made of one course brick construction. It was constructed of either one large brick or 2-3 smaller specimens placed one on the top of the other. The very bottom of the oven base construction comprised of a sloping greenish layer.
The stratigraphical position of the oven, in addition to our construction, implies it is of post Neolithic date.
The base surface is uneven. It is sloping down to the west. Moreover, the base of the oven was here considerably thinner. Unfortunately, further observations can not be made on the western part of the structure as it is placed beyond the western edge of the trench.
