| Discussion: Begun by cross section yhe fire instalation in E/W direction in order to remove S half. Removed stone around 2 stone clusters and in the process revealed a possible oven floor made of a thin plaster layer. This unit was photoed w/ this floor then it was removed along w/ stone clusters. Continued removing all material which seemed like clean fill in the W area and which was dark w/ charcoal and a black layer of burnt clay in the E area (S3, burnt clay). The E area also had 3-4 cm chunks of white-greenish hard clay chunks which were burnt. Came to a hard somewhat even base and stopped. Then removed other section (N). (photos and drawings of this stage) As N was removed a few (1-2) more stones were found and small bits of burnt clay otherwise fill was relatively clean clayey packing. |
