Title
A ceramic Roman Lowther's Group 5 and Betts Die 12, relief-patterned flue-tile fragment in two parts dating from AD150-200.
Description
English: A ceramic Roman Lowther's Group 5 and Betts Die 12, relief-patterned flue-tile fragment dating from AD150-200. A similar tile is illustrated in Betts et al (1997:62 Fig.27j). The front is decorated with relief-patterned rolled design in the "Diamond and Lattice" group style. Betts et al (1997:80) write "from High Wycombe Villa was used in Roman XIIA which was created after the villa's construction in c150/70. Fragments of the tiles were sealed by a new floor in alterations in the 2nd or early 3rd cent. (Hartley 1959, 231;241;254 (note 11))."

McComish (2015:12) writes "Box flues (tubuli) are hollow rectangular or square cross-sectioned tiles, with sanded interior surfaces, and they have vents in two opposing sides, while the other two sides are usually keyed. The keying can be incised, finger drawn, combed, or relief-patterned. There is no standard size for box flue tiles nationally (ibid., 74). Box flues were made by wrapping a slab of clay around a sanded former then joining the edges of the clay together with a single seam, and the vents were cut out after the tile was removed from the former (Rudling et al. 1986, 204)."

Dimensions: length: 63.07mm; width: 42.42mm; thickness: 20.34mm; weight: 57.27g.

Betts et al (1997:52) write "London still has the biggest concentration of individual examples and different die patterns, and it is the tile kilns located near London, such as Ashtead, Surry, Brockley Hill, Middlesex and Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, which probably formed the chief production centres for the manufacture of relief-patterned tile in south-east England."

Other box flue-tiles on the database are LON-6D895E, PUBLIC-29D515 and LON-1582B3.
