A fragment of Roman (AD 43-410) ceramic building material in the form of a box flue tile, measuring 76.13mm in width, 108.11mm in length and 26.05mm in thickness and weighing 294.74g. The fabric is oxidised and the decoration comprises either combed or rolled wavy lines. The grooves are 0.76-3.15mm wide. Box flue tiles were used to create flues in the walls of building, through which hot air generated by the hypocaust system would pass. The grooves decorating the surfaces are key to improving the adhesion of the tile to wall plaster. The presence of flue tiles for a hypocaust sugges…

Three ceramic tesserae. Small rough blocks, they are of off-white stone, possibly sandstone, two of which shows traces of red on the upper surfaces. The largest is 29.98 mm x 30.12 mm x 21.11 mm and the smallest is 23.32 mm x 26.24 mm x 22.45 mm. Such pieces (often together with blocks of tile) were used to make floors in Roman villas and other buildings. The coarse finish of these and their size mean that these would be used to make the plain borders around finer tesselated floor and mosaics and to floor passage ways etc. Collective weight: 90.47g
