Horseshoe shaped oven, its eastern part is presented to a height of 30cm and is constructed by 4 clearly distinct upright mudbricks of approx 10-9cm thickness. İts western part is poorly preserved and distinct mudbricks can not be easily identified. Thickness of W wall c.9cm. The northern tip of the oven shows a mouth 47cm wide which is slightly offset to the west. The mudbricks are made of yellowish clay very well tempered with sand and they look very much similar to the mudbricks used in the building. The internal part of the oven shows three reconstructions of the floor. The uppermost floor is based on thin spread of white lime, which also partially covers the west wall. This spread covered a half circular area which resided approx. 30cm from the mouth of the original oven. İt is likely that the oevn in this final stage was used as a hearth. İn this phase also the remains of the original hearth to the north of the lime speard was filled up with frgaments of mudbrick and clay. The next floor is made of plaster and gravel and baked hard with a lot of cracks. The earliest (third floor) shows signs of burning and is very soft and sandy (this is possibly the make up for the floor? (RR 6/7/09). The west wall of the oven had been reinforced by a thick 11cm addition of sandy material similar to mubrick over the sde of which the lowest floor abbuts. The latest floor appears to be associated with floor F.107 and the earliest with floor F.117 |
