Description
- CH06SR0882
- Light gray ashy layer near wall course/hearth in area 3 courtyard
- Dimensions at definition were approximately 50 cm (NW-SE) X 55 cm (NE-SW), but as we excavated to the NW we uncovered several large pieces of tile somewhat articulated. This tile collapse (context 0915) extended over 0882. Therefore after we removed the tile, the dimensions extended to approximately 1.1 M (NW-SE). The soil was light gray and ashy with an orange-ish yellow (2.5YR olive yellow) ashy layer of the same consistency and composition under it.The entire context was no more than 8-10 cm in dept, becoming more thin as it oved away from the wall course 0922.
- Context 0882 is likely associated with the concentration of large flat-lying tiles (context 0915). Because the light gray and orange-ish yellow were the same compostion and consistency they were not recorded as separate contexts. Context is most thin under the tile collapse.
Interpretation
-
- Possibly the ashy remains of a small hearth or oven.
