http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue1/peacey/toc.html introduces furnaces in archeology. It gives the definition of a muffle from Searle, A B 1930 The Encyclopedia of the Ceramic Industries, London as A chamber, case or box of refractory material, which is built in a furnace, and used to heat articles out of direct contact with flames or other products of combustion. It serves a purpose similar to a saggar, but being larger, is more suitable for some purposes. The muffle is actually the enclosed section that protects the material from the combustion products of the furnace. The heat is conducted to the sample through the walls of the muffle. www.claygirl.com/glossary.html gives other definitions for the potter
