| Designator | Pit |
| General remarks | Large oven originating in the same strata as surface L5066 and either worked around or resused as a pit in later periods, possibly causing some contamination with black on white pot sherds (common in L5066) into later strata. |

| Strat above | 5069 |
| Strat abuts | 5027, 5065, 5055, 5008 |

| Strat remarks | Deep oven apparently reused as pit in later periods or completely worked around |

| Has note | Contexts excavated in trenches were recorded using the "locus system." A locus is any discrete three-dimensional entity excavated in a trench. The key to the locus system is the recognition that a locus is any one thing. Differences in soil composition or texture are therefore as important as, for example, the difference between a pit and a wall. If two entities were distinct, they were considered separate loci and were therefore assigned separate locus numbers. It should also be noted that every context excavated in a trench was given a locus number and thus the trench itself is made up completely of excavated loci. |

|---|---|
| Associated surfaces | 5066 |
| Structure type | Oven |
| Remarks | Large oven, associated with L5066, but extending, mostly in tact, into other higher strats and possibly contaminating them with black on white painted pottery from the L5066 period |
