trial_description_8:
Fragment of jointed pan-tile (?), preserving vertical edge and part of adjoining floor from upper part of tile.
At upper end, the interior surfaces (of edge and of floor) are recessed 0.02m.-0.03m. to provide a socket for overlapping joint of next tile above.
The fabric is very heavy and thick and the outer surface of the vertical edge is not as smooth as it should be if it were really intended to serve as a pan-tile and to abut against the vertical edge of another tile in the same horizontal series.
Coarse soft reddish-buff clay with large bits.
