Unit 5118

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Compound layers 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: basin; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 27 x 35 x 14 

Discussion: This compound layered deposition situated as shown above. It contained numerous clay balls, stones like artefacts. However overlays one of the ovens in the south-west corner of the building. It can almost be interpreted as a kind of collapsed top part of the oven but there were not burning evidence so much.

Nb/ in post ex, this sequence of 5118/5119 and 5117 was moved to below basin 521 on the basis that it appeared to represent the original function of this feature which was missed during excavation, and shows a hearth feature remodelled as a plaster basin
