Unit 3175

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: part of build of oven,rendering of oven 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.42 m E-W x 0.26 m N-S x 2-3 mm thick max. 

Discussion: Very small phytolith rich layer above oven entrance seems to be a layer between various layers of plaster rendering. There seems to lots of chaff in it, is it dung? Had to be 100% archive sampled except for very small parts left in section for micromorphology sample, but very thin when it gets to section <1 mm. Covers join between oven 268 and additional walls of 256 (3353) so has been deposited after F.268 has been remodelled. 

Recognition: Seen as mid brown layer with phytoliths after (3162) removed. Also (3162) natural wanted to break off along interface. 

Definition: Small patch situated above oven 268 entrance. Continues into temporary section left for micromorphology to W. Ends at edge of oven wall. 

Execution: Leaf. 

Condition: Covered, dry. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: 10 YR 4/4 dark yellowish brown with white flecks 

Texture: clay 20% silt 80% 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 50% small phytoliths, <1% charcoal small flecks + frags. 

Post-depositional Features: n/a 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic type/constructional/distinct/smooth form sloping down from N at about 1 in 1/ surface: slightly pitted but fairly smooth
