Description: | Roof tile fragment of Roman date (AD 43 ? AD 410). Length 48mm, width 54mm and 31mm thick. Weight 64.96g. The fragment is the corner part of a tegula roof tile, possibly from the lower left hand corner, as viewed in plan. The right angled flange at the edge of the tile has a finished bevelled end and is flat on top. The depth of the flange above the main part of the tile is 16mm and the thickness of the main part is 15mm. The fabric is an orange/red colour throughout and does not have a contrasting coloured core. It is finely tempered with sand or quartz. The old breaks reveal a layered structure within the fabric that suggests that the flange and the main part of the tile were made from one piece of clay, rather than the flange being made separately and then added. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
