This hearth was identified with the revealing of a semicircular deposit of ash underneath (19610), an occupation deposit located in the southeast corner. The ash was extremely shallow, suggesting this hearth's use may have been shorter-lived than those located more towards the center of B97 SP365.
It was also noted that the western edge of hearth f.3531 extenuated underneath a layer of plaster initially left as part of a built edge adjacent to the hearth. This may represent some upkeep of the platform on which hearth f.3531 lies which changed its shape either after or during its use. This lends support to the assertion that this hearth may have been less integral to the longterm functioning of th ehouse than the more centrally-situated hearths.
Hearth f.3531 is largely beneath the constructed overhang of wall f.4089, and is near the ladder scar f.3523, a typical relationship in the neolithic houses here. |
