Interpretive Categories: fill of oven/backfill
Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 0.5 m E-W x 0.4 m N-S x
Discussion: Thin layer of ash, silt and clay. Possibly part of deliberate backfilling process.
Recognition: Recognised as a clayier more orange/yellow deposit with less grey than deposit above, cleaner (less white flecks).
Definition: To E and W abutts oven walls. To N ends abruptly, cut?
Execution: Leaf with difficulty as hard to see with oven intact, 1/2 sectioned.
Condition: Sheltered, slightly moist.
Consistency: firm
Colour: mixture of 2.5 Y 6/3 light yellowish brown and 10 YR 4/3 dark greyish brown
Texture: ash 10%, clay 30%, silt 60%
Bedding: compound - not layered but patches of grey ashy silt and light yellowish grey clay unoriented, discontinous
Inclusions: 10% charcoal <5 mm, 10% white salt concentrations <3 mm, 1% oven lining frags. <50 mm (same as 3132,3136), rare bone <1%, one large frag. rest are small, all inclusions are less in the yellow clay area
Post-depositional Features: occasional root action, salts
Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/wavy/distinct/; sitting on top of fairly loose ash + charcoal layer which tended to come away when this deposit excavated
