Unit 32003

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: hard backed dome of oven F.7854 

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

Discussion: The partially preserved hard backed dome (32003) of the oven (F.7854) had been evidenced only a shallow (12cm) intra-wall incise made in purpose to place on the spot construction of the mentioned fire installation. The dome was attached to the S-wall (3679) of the sp.531 and it created actual limit of the oven, in term of separation the feature from the mud-brick structure behind (to the South). During the exploration of the oven it appeared that the basal boundary of the backed dome constituted make-up layer (U.32012) that was also evidenced under the base (U.31570) of the oven. It may imply that the creation of the both (Base and the Dome) might have happened at the same time.

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.
