1. THE CONSTRUCTION OF EARLY HELLADIC II CERAMIC ROOFING TILES FROM MITROU, GREECE: INFLUENCE AND INTERACTION.

Abstract

Ceramic roofing tiles were first invented during the Early Bronze Age (or Early Helladic [EH] period, ca. 3100-2000 BCE) and have been identified at 22 sites in mainland Greece. In this paper, I present a newly discovered assemblage of EH tiles from the site of Mitrou (East Lokris) and offer the first detailed, comparative analysis of EH tile production. I demonstrate that there was a shared tradition for the appropriate form and dimensions of tiles in mainland Greece. This uniformity, however, belies heterogeneity in production among sites and through time. The reconstructed chaîne opératoire of Mitrou's tiles, for instance, has affinities with the tiles of Zygouries (Corinthia) and Kolonna (Aegina), but not of the later House of the Tiles at Lerna and most tiles from Tiryns in the Argolid. With these results, I reveal a distinct network of interaction in mainland Greece in which construction knowledge was disseminated and maintained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

7. UTILISATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE FLYASH AS AN ADULTERANT TO CLAY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF MANGALORE ROOFING TILES.

Author

Rego, Susan

Abstract

Clay is the common name for a number of fine grained earthly materials that become plastic when wet. Clay is extensively used in ceramic industry in general and in the manufacturing of roofing tiles and bricks in particular in Dakshina Kannada district of coastal Karnataka. In Dakshina Kannada clay tile manufacturing industries are the major constituent contributors for rural and urban housing across the coastal and hilly regions of India. However, these tile factories are now facing shortage of good quality clay. Nearly 50,000 acres of fertile top soil is removed till recent years for making bricks and tiles. This causes ecological unbalances specifically for an agricultural country like India [6]. On the other hand, technological advancement has brought in modern industries like thermal power plants and iron ore processing industries producing environment polluting and health hazardous waste products in huge quantity. The thermal power plants have problems in safe disposal of hazardous flyash. Fortunately, this flyash is found to possess potential characteristics which could be tapped for producing low cost building or clay roofing materials. This paper presents the results of an experimental study made on utilization of flyash in appropriate proportions, with good quality clay for the manufacture of roofing tiles. It also presents the different types of fuels used, cost of production and the energy audit. From the results of this study, it is concluded that cost effective, ecofriendly and durable clay tiles could be produced with flyash as an additive in optimum proportion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents information on bamboo and its uses. Bamboo is a versatile plant, actually a grass that has many indigenous uses throughout East, Southeast and South Asia and is an important import for the western world. The roof is sometimes composed of small, flat tiles but more generally of thatch; in some places of dhanee leaves soaked in salt water to protect them from the ravages of insects; in others of wa-khat, a kind of flat tile six feet long by two feet broad made of coarse bamboo matting; in others of bamboos split in half longitudinally and, with knots removed, placed side by side and touching each other with the concave side upwards, extending from the ridge to the eaves, over these is placed another series with the concave side downwards so that the roof looks like one of the elongated pan tiles. The flooring consists of planking in better houses, and of whole bamboos laid side-by-side on bamboo cross-beams and tied with cane in the poorer.
