PETROLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF ROMAN TILES FROM EXETER AND OTHER DEVON SITES.
Author(s): D F Williams
Thin section analysis of a group of Roman tiles suggests the following: (1) a fabric which was almost certainly made at Exeter, (2) a similar fabric found at some auxiliary forts may represent supplies of tiles from Exeter, (3) late in the third century A.D. a quite different tile fabric occurs at Exeter, at present source unknown, and (4) tiles from a number of civil sites in Devon show a wide variety of fabrics, implying tile production at many places rather than at one or two large centres.
