Unit 5076

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Oven infill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 1.2m e-w x 1.25m n-s x 0.15m deep 

Discussion: Oven infill/ demolition.
Within this unit, especially in the north half, were chunks of what were very clearly collapsed roof (ie fire hardened inner surface and less fired superstructure-as you'd expect). There was no trace of floors fragments, which is surprising, as half the floor was missing.

The bit of 5076 to the north of the oven must be just 'overflow' from demolition-no reason why some shouldn’t collapse beside the oven as well as within it.

Essentially, the oven appears to have been infilled by the destrcution of its upper half.
