Discussion: U23402 is the second latest base of Oven F2195; this unit number includes also the make up of this base. Both base and make up were very thin, and well merged together; they were excavated very easily together, coming out in consistently sized pieces. The base was thin, of mud plaster; of brown orange colour because of the heat. The packing of this base was a thin sandy layer, of dark brown and orange colour, with a few scattered thin charcoal inclusions.
