Unit 3395

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor,oven structure 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 0.11 m N-S x 0.40 m E-W; 0.01 to 0.03 m deep 

Discussion: Although associated with a potential bottom of the origianl untruncated oven (if this is the case), the unit feels and looks more like a floor layer, with several layers of plaster type material and a possible packing layer below it. It breaks down onto a salty and ashy type layer synonymous with a floor level found intermittently in space 150. The fragmentary nature of some of the unit feels like a floor level. Further light trowelling seemed to confirm that it was a floor level. 

Recognition: White plaster layer sitting over more ashy/grey layer. 

Definition: Diffuse towards E, but clearer N + S boundary. 

Execution: Trowel. 

Condition: Fairly dry. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: ranging from 10 YR 8/1 white of surface to 6/3 dark brown in centre, small amounts of darker material 

Texture:  

Bedding: layered, several plaster levels and a possible packing /infill level (the brown), the layers are not continous though is fitting with other floors 

Inclusions:  

Post-depositional Features:  

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/abrupt/distinct/smooth/even surface/more uneven to E end

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
