Description: | Two fragments of miscellaneous cearmic building material or tile. They are possibly Roman in date through association with fragments of hypocaust, box flue and tegula from the same finder in the same area. The largest fragment (126.30mm x 76.15mm x 22.85mm) has an orange/purple core, with orange surfaces. It contains moderate inclusions of iron oxide up to 5mm. The lower surface retains possible impressions of graining where the clay has been pressed into a wooden mould. The smaller fragment (57.91mm x 56.64mm x 23.45mm) has a light orange fabric, fired to a lower temaperature, and contains frequent orange/purple grog inclusions up to 7.5mm. This softer fabric has been more heavily abraded. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Davey, John - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
