If you keep digging the pottery dump, watch out for little square blocks of fired stoneware or sometimes plaster. These blocks could be the molds for pipes or doll heads. There are two halves to the mold. If one half gets broken, they both get pitched and another mold gets made. Sometimes the molds will wear out, also. Clay is pretty abrasive and will wear away the features on the mold as a piece is molded.

Seems this Kiln may have be stone rather than brick. Or maybe stone floors .
