This article explores the relationship between the archaeological remains of clay ovens excavated in the Iron Age level at Tel Hadar, Israel & modern socio-cultural behaviour linked to clay ovens used for bread baking. After a short introduction on one of the excavated ovens & the precise report of one experimentation with local people, most of the text describes my ethno-archaeological observations from the past five years in Syria. Through a study that combines archaeology, ethno-archaeology & experimental archaeology I documented techniques of construction, differentiated various types of ovens & recorded culinary & social function. Based on this research a worksheet has been developed maximize the potential for information retrieved during the excavation of clay ovens. 1 Table, 21 Figures, 5 References.
