Previously suspected on the basis of a tile stamped with the name
and titles of the emperor Nero found alongside other brick and tile
in the ploughsoil, excavation of two tile kilns at Little London
near Silchester, Hampshire confirmed production during the reign of
Nero. In addition to the manufacture of standard bricks and roofing
materials, the kilns produced the more specialist materials
required for building bath-houses. Work on the fabrics and
distinctive, roller-stamped flue-tiles shows that products reached
a wide variety of destinations between Cirencester, some 100 km to
the north-west, and Chichester, on the south coast, though
Silchester appears to have been the main market and is the only
location where Nero-stamped tile has so far been found. A
suggestion is made linking the stamped tile to the visit to Britain
by the emperor’s trusted freedman, Polyclitus in the aftermath of
the Boudican revolt. An unexpected discovery was the ancillary
production from at least three pottery kilns of a wide range of
pre-Flavian domestic wares, so far only identified in Silchester
and its environs. Alongside the publication of the kilns there are
illustrated catalogues of the complete range of brick and tile
types produced as well as of the pottery. Other reports include
analysis of the fuels used and a suite of radiocarbon dates which
support the pottery evidence for production ceasing in the early
Flavian period. Analysis of the numerous animal foot-impressions on
the bricks presents one aspect of the environment of the kilns.
