Unit 32026

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: superstructure of oven 

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

Discussion: Partially preserved remains of oven (F.7737) superstructure U.32026 had been recorded in south-central part of Sp.531. They were set next to the Northern opening of incised intra-wall (domed) cut U.32048. The presented remains consisted of 3 fragments of lower part of the rim that encircled in the past mentioned fire-installation. It seems that the superstructure was set directly on the surface of preparation layer U.32027. The indentified horizontal thickness of the rim was 13cm. The recognized fragments stood up to 3-4cm height and they had been stretched in three spots along the cut (U.32028) covering the area of 73 x 60 cm. The latter scope most plausibly indicate actual extent of the oven F.7737. The state of preservation did not allow to conceive the phases of use nor collect the further data related with the character of the feature in general.
Worth noticing is that the remains of the superstructure U.32026 as well as the underlying preparation layer (32027) and cuts (32048 and 32028) they altogether constitute the earliest phase of the use the described above spot as fire-installation after ceasing the exploitation of nearby oven F.7732 to the West.

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.
