Abstract:		 An attempt to generalise from the detail of the archaeological record of a particular artefact type, to statements about change in the medieval period. The assemblage from Bordesley Abbey is used as the main database because decorated tiles have survived from several independently dated floors spanning the period between c 1200 and 1538. Part one explains the methodology for recording and grouping the tiles, discusses tile industries identified from Bordesley material and records the results of visual and scientific fabric analysis and the conclusions drawn about the role of design in tile studies. Part two concentrates on production sites where floor tiles are known to have been manufactured. General themes relevant to the structure of industries such as seasonality, itinerancy, permanence, technology, location, raw materials and markets are also considered. The evidence from kiln sites is formalised into models of industrial organisation.
