Oven floor in the S-W corner of space 158. The oven floor was discovered immediately below the niche floor (F. 607). It became apparent that the niche was built on top of this floor most likely to take the advantage of the flat and firm surface of the oven floor.
The oven has not preserved superstructure. Most likely it had some superstructure which can be seen in the area where the oven was abutting the west wall. This could have been only a short rim around the floor - very similar to the F. 646.
The oven was slightly set into the west wall but not as much as in some other cases where ovens have a niche in the wall.
The oven floor is highly baked and has dark red almost brown - black colour. The surface is smooth as in case of well used ovens, and it is cracked in long and angular lines. .
The oven has been in use in the "dirty area" of space 158 at the same time when in the "clean area" towards the north there was a white-plaster floor which is part of F. 628 and 635. The oven therefore could be a part of phase "D" in space 158. This would be the phase of the house after the interior wall (F.161) was built. |
