Unit 3373

Category: cut    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: collapsed oven roof 

Data Category Information: Description: basin

Dimensions: c 0.2m diam x c 40 mm thick 

Discussion: Collapse of oven roof, which was echoed in shape by fragments of oven roof material inside oven. (3132, 3126).
Probably accidental collapse after backfilling of oven maybe due to weight on top of oven after contents have settled and compressed. see sketch above.

Alternatively there may have been a hole in the oven made for some specific purpose and its edges have worn away.
Stratigraphically therefore I can't put 'cut' 3373 directly below 3136 although I think its earlier. It has to go under 2796 fill of bin 256.

Post ex 2001
I've put cut under 3136 on the matrix on the interpretation that this hole was made through collapse of the roof, obviously no proof of this but based on fact that we have no comparative ovens with openings at top as well as side (I realise we have no complete ovens, this is based on modern comparisons too) SF. 

Recognition: seen at beginning of 1998 excavations and confirmed when pieces of collapsed roof found within oven. 

Definition: centre of oven 268 

Execution: recorded after excavation 

Condition: hot 

Shape: subround 

Sides: only about 1cm deep so hard to tell 

Base Break: none

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
