Unit 32852

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: oven make up 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: The layer was clearly distinctive from both over- and underlying oven floors, although embedded in its bottom part were lot of charcoal lumps that most probably have been lying on the underlying oven floor when the make-up was being placed. Only N part of the unit was excavated as the oven was either cut into wall F7176, or the wall was built over and around the closed oven. It has been decided to excavate the oven first in order to obtain datable material from it.

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: few small black and whte flecks, large lumps of charcoal at the bottom (possibly lying on underlying oven floor)

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.
