Masonry oven modular ovens, all these methods are still in use. In all cases, the ovens typically go under a roof or some kind of weather protection. Perhaps the most significant change in masonry oven construction practices is insulation. Since masonry loses heat as fast (or faster) than it absorbs it, early ovens extended bake times by increasing mass. Thicker walls held more heat to bake more bread — but only up to a point. Since heat moves from high to lower temp, the outside of the oven can’t get as hot as the inside — unless you wrap it in a
Ceramic common artifacts to be found at an archaeological site, generally in the form of small fragments of broken pottery called sherds. Processing of collected sherds can be consistent with two main types of analysis: technical and traditional. Traditional analysis involves sorting ceramic artifacts, sherds and larger fragments into specific types based on style, composition, manufacturing and morphology. By creating these typologies it is possible to distinguish between different cultural styles, the purpose of the ceramic and technological state of the people among other conclusions. In addition, by looking at stylistic changes of ceramics over time is it possible to separate
