Unit 3136

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: backfill,collapsed oven 

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

Dimensions: 35 mm thick 

Discussion: Inner layer of colapse of oven roof. Looks very similar to oven lining. Mixed with layer above quite a lot although there is clear difference between these deposits that have very uneven cracked surface and intermingle.

Salt on underside surface of this deposit or is it a plaster lining? 

Recognition: Orangeish yellow deposit beneath (3132) which in places breaks off clearly with overlying deposit. 

Definition: Strong definition as is yellow lumps against d. grey background of fill below, however at sides is as easily confused with intact walls of oven. 

Execution: Leaf while oven F.268 is still in situ. 

Condition: Hot, dry, covered, windy. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: varied between 7.5 YR 7/6 reddish yellow and 10 YR 6/4 light yellowish brown 

Texture: silty loam, 70% silt, 30% coarse and very fine sand 

Bedding: massive but gradation of colour from yellow to orange, yellow on top 

Inclusions: frequent very small frags of phytolith <3 mm long, 30% 

Post-depositional Features: possible salts on underside in places 

Basal Boundary: surface: uneven/anthropogenic in broken lumps at various angles, base: natural? collapse, very sharp, prominent, broken, scorched, irregular slopes in different directions
