Fragment of Roman flue tile, c.AD 43-410. This is a fragment of a rectangular tile with flat faces, with broken edges and corners. The obverse is scored with regular lines to help mortar to adhere to the surface. The breaks around the edges mean that no corners survive that indicate whether this is a wall or floor tile.

Ceramic building material. Oxidised sandy fabric. Flue tile fragment. Handmade flat tile fragment with a combed pattern running in two directions and partially intersecting, interrupted by two shallow also holes made before firing. These marks appear on the upper side [as formed] of the tile; the lower side bears sand impressions and adhesions from the laying of the green or unfired tile on a sanded surface. This humble object is of interest because it points to a Romanised centrally heated building in the vicinity. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Length: 73.4mm, Width: 63.6mm, Thicknes…

Ceramic building material. Fragment of a flue tile of entirely oxidised orange-pink sandy fabric with occasional grog fragments, with one external combed surface [to key mortar] and a flat possibly sanded surface internal to the flue.

A fragment from a Roman box flue tile dating to AD 43-410. The fragment has evidence of the typical combed decoration on one face. The outer face is undecorated. The fabric is orange on the outer surfaces and has a grey colour core.  There are infrequent quartz inclusions throughout the fabric.  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.  Measurments :- Length 72…
