A fragment of a medieval coarse ware tile, dating to the period AD 1250 - AD 1300
The fragments manufactured with an evident grog temperate with very little inclusions. The fragment has oxidised well as the dominant colour is orange, but there is also a visible reduced dark grey core.
The design of the tile is inlaid, and it can be suggested that this was most likely achieved when the clay was in a plastic state. The design is the lower part of a breed of bird. The lower part of the birds body is visible, and there are two legs, one of which is higher than the other, mostly like…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a ceramic Roman tegula roof tile dating to the period AD 43- 410.
