TILE

Unique ID: SWYOR-1357D3

Object type certainty: Certain

Fourteen pieces of ceramic tile, probably Roman roof tile. The largest piece is 117.4mm in length, 94mm wide and 23.6mm thick, the smallest is 54.3mm long, 36.7mm wide and 18.2mm thick. The total weight is 1.2kg. The matrix is orange in colour, quite coarse, and contains a number of small, white inclusions and pieces of grit. There seems to be a mixture of pieces of tegula and imbrex. On the underside of the largest fragment of tegula are five small depressions, probably caused by the tile maker balancing it on the tips of his/her fingers before it was fired.
