Abstract: |
Thin sectioning of a small group of Medieval floor-tiles produced a distinctive fabric containing glauconitic pellets. Given the frequency of glauconite present, the origin of the tiles may well be situated near to Greensand deposits, the nearest source of which is some 8 miles to the south. However, a source even further away is possible, as a sixteenth century tile from the Donyatt kilns was also found to contain glauconitic inclusions. |
