Six large tesserae blocks. Roman. Traces of lime plaster on the base. 5 are a grey, overfired ceramic, possibly a modified floor tile. One is lighter and is made up of a more sandy red fabric. The large size of the tesserae suggest that they were used on a low quality, low status floor meant for heavy footfall. Largest - 30mm x 28mm x 20mm. Smallest - 24mm x 24mm x 15mm. Combined weight of 192.27g.

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
