this is a series of final photographs by okk that documents the pit kilns, a30 and a31, in locus k13, that were excavated by jlw and yt from L816 until L821. v162, the primary reference photo, is an overhead looking south from the north baulk. One can clearly see the bottom of both kilns, a30 on the middle right, and a31 on the upper left. v162a was renumbered v161d. v162b the second reference photo, was taken low and looking east, with the top of both kilns at eye level. The meter sticks are at about the level of the kiln floors. (only a30 clearly visible). v162c is the third refernce photograph, another overhead from the north baulk, looking south, this time with a wide angle lens that shows the adjacent locus to the south k13 and, in particular a cut for a pit that was once thought to have been a place where clay was mixed for pottery fabrication. yt has cast some doubt on that theory because the cut has straight sides, is very deep, and contains a hard accumulation of alkaline from ash and loess, rather than pure clay. V14d3448 was mis-labeled v162d and does not belong to this view. [Input: L905jlw.j] |
