Unit 5144

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: oven superstructure 

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

Dimensions: 0.35 E/W x 0.15 N/S 

Discussion: The oven appears to have been modified at least 2 or 3 times, extending the N.arm westwards. This unit is the last such modification.
It has been made by joining a pre-moulded and hardened bit of plaster/clay onto the existing one, using unmoulded clay to join the two.
Don't really know why they did this to be honest. There are no floors/dirty layers associated with this last phase - only ones surviving are lower. Maybe they were removed when 'levelling' was put ion?
It is likely that this addition could have been made when the southern arm of the feature was re-built.

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.
