Unit 3390

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor,oven structure 

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

Dimensions: 0.10 m N-S x 0.60 m E-W, depth:0.01 to 0.03 m (at W end) 

Discussion: This may be the base of the original (untruncated) oven. As seen on the sketch plan (on unit sheet) it rests slightly outside the oven cavity per se, but possibly ends is part of a former larger structure. Excavates down onto a plaster/grey layer that seems to possibly link in with the surrounding layers in space 150. It could be a floor layer but (3395) is a better candidate for a floor. 

Recognition: Layer visible above a white/grey plastery layer. 

Definition: Reasonably clear, but the layer is thin and diffuse in places. 

Execution: Trowel. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: soft to friable 

Colour: 10 YR 4/4 dark yellowish brown 

Texture: silty 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: bone (2%), charcoal (2%) 

Post-depositional Features: probable root, a little salt 

Basal Boundary: abrupt/distinct/clear/even/anthropogenic/smooth/inclined gently to W

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.
