Full Record for Context Number 5861

Context Number: 5861
Description: Tile spread / possible small hearth
Notes:Tile spread / possible small hearth. The tiles are partially discoloured, indicating some level of burning. The oxidation of the tiles occurs mainly in the front tiles on the north west side. The general assumption therefore could be that these tiles are the remains of a secondary hearth within the building annexe of the north east house. This is a small and subsiding hearth in the corner of the annexe and is possibly there as a heating tool, because the large hearth 4234 is the primary functional utilitarian structure. There is limited evidence of these tiles being a floor surface as they do not extend out of the corner and there is no evidence of appropriate wear. Strat below (3178). Strat above (5889). Fill / part of [6048]. Completely removed in 2005. Plan no: 29.254, 29.256 Accuracy rating - 4
Composition: Ceramic floor tiles measuring between 0.005m-0.5m; The largest tile is 0.5m x 0.3m x 0.03m The tiles were laid flat and bonded by silty clay Extent: 1m x 1m; Thickness: 0.03m
Small Finds: 43619  53611  53618  53619
