Unit 5435

Category: Layer    dug in 2002

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Oven base 

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

Dimensions: 0.63m (E-W) by at least 0.58m (N-S) 

Discussion: Post-ex 2010 FS:

The oven was constructed from ‘orange bricks’, although only its foundation height survived (5435). Only its western and eastern segments were present; and its internal dimensions were recorded as approximately 0.63m (E-W) by at least 0.58m (N-S). Scorching was recorded internally on the east and west faces. No internal oven surface was recorded, nor was there any evidence of external surfaces that respected the oven’s superstructure within the 2002 limits of excavation. It is possible however, that the dark brown silt rich deposits recorded to the west of bench F.1503 in 2004, actually represented ‘dirty’ surfaces associated with the oven, (11327), (11326), (11324).

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
