Possible oven or hearth- unclear which if these it actually represents, but the form is significantly different enough from underlying hearth to hint that it may have been a covered oven. This is further surpported by the density of the collapsed superstructure, which seals the whole fill, suggesting that the structure may have been covered: (oven).
Structuarally amorphous, pair of sub-linear 'walls' (which may have been subcircular but this cannt be proven dueto later truncation in the north east corner by F. 1258?). The wall to the west had a slightly rounded profile, the easternmost was collapsed mudbrick and deflated. They may have been indistinguishable from the surrounding/adjacent make-up material (14807), but for the presence of irregular lumps/fragments of orange brown sandy mudbrick.
The oven was filled with a thick laminated sequence of interleaving ashy deposits (mainly black, but also lighjt grey (white) containing charcoal and white flecks (phytoliths?). This material was almost indistinguishable from the fill of the underlying hearth F.2702 (14816) some of which may have been lifted with this.
18/01/2011 BA, from Space 132 description:
An hearth/oven F2701 and F.2702 was originally phased with B.53 however these features are clearly truncated by the foundation cut for B.53 walls.
Space 132 is large external area underlying B.53 and stratigraphically above B.85 (FS). |
