Unit 14810

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: collapsed oven structure 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: building; Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.30m (E-W) x 0.34m (N-S) x 0.10m (thick) 

Discussion: collapsed oven superstructure
very similar on constitution as 14803, may be identical or at least part of the same process of collapse.
Strat a little ambiguous as appeared to be sealed by a later fill sequence (14809); however, it can also clearly be seen sealing a later fill, suggesting this may be the earliest hearth structure.
The wall from which this collapse was probably situated (originally) slightly to the east. 

Recognition: sealing earlier fill. Different to surrounding material 

Definition: fairly clear, although quite similar to 14803, same type of material 

Execution: plan, record, trowel, bag, flotation 

Condition: dusty, dry 

Consistency: fairly homogenous, compact, cemented 

Colour: light grey brown 

Texture: slightly silty sand 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: occasional - moderate charcoal flecks 

Post-depositional Features: possibly some truncation to the north and west, although deposit is so small anyway remains unclear 

Basal Boundary: very clear, sitting on ash

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
