Tabun oven

Tabun oven

A tabun oven, or simply, tabun (also transliterated taboon, from the _ar. طابون) is a clay oven, shaped like a truncated cone, with an opening at the bottom from which to stoke the fire. Built and used in pre-biblical and biblical times as the family, neighbourhood, or village oven, tabun ovens continue to be built and used in parts of the Middle East today.Negev and Gibson, 2005, pp. 91-92.]
