Unit 32011

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: constructional element,repair 

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

Discussion: Badly preserved remains of probable constructional element U.32011 (made of material reminding grey mud-brick) was recorded between Niche F.7855 (situated to the West) and Oven F.7854 (to the East). The purpose of setting the mentioned element in particular spot is unclear. Judging by its position it may functioned as a wedge supporting from the west the superstructure (U.31569) of the Oven (F.7854), and simultaneously constituting a small smooth step to the nearby raised podium attached to the Niche (F.7855). Unfortunately, the state of preservation did not allow to conceive the actual nature of the presented unit. That is why we do not know whether it was originally covered by plaster (U.31568) – if so, we may assume that the interpretation of the uncovered element most possible was related with contemporary phase of use the both features. The gray paste of U.32011 overlaid the make-up layer (U.32009) but respected the raised rim of oven superstructure (U.31569). The latter means that the placement the wedge occurred a period of time after construction of the Oven (F.7854).

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.
