Projecting from south section (LOE). This oven was defined by a subcircular structure, the top surface of which was slightly flattened with rounded corners (14815).
The structural remains of the hearth itself were badly truncated on the north eastern sideby a later cut feature, F1528?. The southern limit of the hearth was obscured by the southern LOE.
The eastern 'wall' was sealed by a remnant of plaster floor (14819) although excavation of this floor showed it to be a little ambiguous, and it may not somply interpreted as the basal interface of the overlying oven f.2701, nevertheless since no other floors had been ID'd, associated with this structure (all of the other floors expected at this level had been scoured out or where never there to being with).
The hearth was finally filled with an ashy laminate comprising thin bands of grey, white and black ash. Black being the dominant colour ( many of the lenses can still be seen in section in the southern LOE). This fill was so similar to those id'd in the overlying oven F,2701, that it was partially excavated as the same-suggesting continuity of use, even though the form may change significantly.
Ambiguos ash deposit- immediately under hearth structure-thin lense (foundation)? |
