YORYM 1997.3 - TANNER ROW, YORK
CERAMIC BUILDING MATERIAL
The
Roman material consists of roofing tile (tegula) and building bricks. The tegula in this sample is in two
sizes. One size is large and the other
small. The large size (identified in
context 2003) is probably associated with the earlier military phases of
occupation in York. The smaller size
is present in context 2002. Some of the
material shows signs of reuse (mortar along broken edges).
The
medieval material consists of peg and plain roofing tile. 14th century or later fabrics are present in
context 1011. Some of the material
shows signs of reuse. However, much of
the medieval material is in large fragments, so that complete measurements can
be taken.
Further
work on this sample would be appropriate to ascertain more complete data on
fabrics and measurements.
