Object type: TESSERA
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
Thirty tesserae of Roman date. Overall weight: 658g. All the tesserae are made from tile and are all cuboid in form. These surface finds were found in association with Roman ceramic building material consisting of unclassified (Roman) tile, box-flue tile, tegulae and tesserae. These tesserae were discovered where the grassland had been disturbed during the very wet conditions at the 2008 Isle of Wight ‘Bestival’ musical event. The find-spot is very close to the site of Combley Roman Villa. Another 93 tesserae found 29/01/2009.

Twelve ceramic mosaic tiles (tesserae) recovered during a fieldwalking exercise on the site of a known Roman villa. The tiles are generally sub-square in shape and are of fairly uniform proportions, measuring between 24.3mm and 33.3mm in length and weighing between 12.72g and 27.05g. They are quite large and crudely made, suggesting that they did not come from a very fine mosaic.
