YORYM 1997.81 – NABURN, YORK

Ceramic Building Materials

S Garside-Neville

Introduction

The was a small sample of material from this site. Much of the material was abraded.

Medieval Material

The material appears to be medieval in date. It is possible that it crosses into the post medieval era. The main form found was plain roofing tile. There is no indication of the method of suspension. There appear to be at least two fabrics. Due to the fragmentary nature of the sample, it is possible that some of the smaller pieces come from brick.

Recommendations

Due to the distinct fabrics, it will be of use to retain this sample until further, larger, samples of ceramic building materials from York's hinterlands can be studied.
