General remarks Well preserved. Fragments of top and side found in center. Intentional holes found inside. Perhaps for fuelling and stoking the fire or for slag run off at the bottom there is a yellowish 7.5 YR 8/3 Munselled Clay. This oven is very well preserved and we can even see the arc of the top of the oven.

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.
