Unit 3374

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: part of bin,part of oven structure 

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

Dimensions: 0.2 m E-W x 0.4 m N-S x 0.02 m thick 

Discussion: Part of bin wall for F.256 but only appearing on its W side.

Alternatively it could be part of oven build and same as (3365) but generally cut (3354) is sloping down to centre of oven and this would fit with that. Also it is spearated from (3365) by lens of grey silt. It continued into W baulk which was taken as micromorphology sample (3365/53). Possibly after the top of the oven was cut (3354) to shape top of oven into beginning of bin walls it was realised that the remaining plinth was too narrow and (3347) was added to thicken wall before (3353) placed on top. 

Recognition: Seen as white plaster layer when (3353) removed. Very similar to (3365) but separated by lense of grey silt. 

Definition: Only appears on W side of bin F.256. Continues into L.O.E in W (micromorph. baulk).

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.
