Four fragments of Roman roof tile (tegulae), each comprising, at least partially, of the side flange.
A minimum of three different fabrics are represented by the assemblage. The largest piece is light yellowish-orange in colour, has occasional grog (crushed ceramic) inclusions, and is similar, but not exactly the same, as two of the other tiles. The fourth tile is completely different, being much thinner in section and made of a more highly-fired, dark reddish-brown fabric with small gritty temper material.
All of the fragments show signs of abrasion. The largest m…

Five fragments of ceramic box flue tiles from a Roman hypocaust system.
The five fragments appear to represent at least four different fabrics - ranging from dull orangey-brown with fine stone inclusions, to deep orange and with much more frequent and coarse temper material. They also differ in thickness, perhaps suggesting the presence of several buildings or periods of construction.
The upper surface of each tile has a series of scored lines, which is designed to act as a key for plaster.
The largest fragment measures up to 100.3mm long by 68mm wide a…

Three sherds from a samian ware bowl, probably a Dragendorff bowl form 37. The larger sherd depicts a winged cupid on the left and a seated cupid on the right. There is a vertical corded divider to the right, with a worn and incomplete figure standing, perhaps on a mask. The figure might be Venus/caryatid. The figures depicted are very similar to those seen on a bowl from Stonea Grange, Cambridgeshire (Jackson & Potter, 1996, fig.136, no. 5). The Stonea Bowl was attributed to the potter Butrio based on its motifs, and dates to the Hadrianic period. It is a Dragendorff 37 form, a…
