| General remarks | This appears to be an oven, mostly because it is very soft and it is surrounded on two and one half sides by a wall. On the other hand, it did not ever give a lot of oven material such as large caches of bone. At the bottom of the oven was a crusty clay baked surface on the south side and some bricks underneath on the north side. Bounded by wall L1035. |

| Composition | Soft ashy fill, not a rich or organic ash but still very soft. |
| 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. |
