Description
- CH05SR0638
- Fill of clay construction in S corner of room 37
- Soft ashy soil, black and white ash, filling the clay construction. 20-30 cm deep; 60 x 70 cm ; sherds of ceramic vessels both with traces of burning and without them. Near the surface of this layer, below a very thin coating of very fine white ash, was a greasy reddish-brown lens that showed traces of burning
- Ceramic evidence was heterogeneous, and not sufficient in quantity for certain conclusions; it suggests, however, a 6th-7th c. date for this fill.
Interpretation
-
- Fill of stove.

- Although our first impression was that this ashy deposit was created in the course of the use of the structure as a stove; alternatively, the ash may have been formed elsewhere and deposited in the construction (although probably from nearby, since the ash is very fine). In either case, it is possible that this activity was associated with metalworking on some scale (some material associated with copper-working were found in the same room)
