Unit 30898

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: oven floor 

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

Discussion: The layer wasn't excavated in 2016. The unit number was given just to take some charcoal samples from it. Samples for C14 dating was taken as S1. (JH 17.07 2016). The part of the layer not overlaid by wall F7176 was excavated in 2017 in order to acquire more potential material for C14 dating. The layer was visibly severely burnt/baked (as expected from oven floor) the surface was black and towards the bottom it gradually changed the color originally it might have been composed of several very thin plaster layers that all together easily flaked off visibly different underlying makeup layer U32852. 

Consistency: compact 

Colour: black and dark grey at the top gradually changing to dark orange at the bottom 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive althought top might have been separate thin (1mm) layer of plaster

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.
