| Summary: | More than 1400 fragments of terracotta floor-tile were retrieved beneath the court-yard of the Grand Commun building in the Palace of Versailles. They came mostly from the royal-tennis court built for Louis XIII and from the court-keeper’s house. The tiles are of interest not only because they can be placed chronologically to within a fifty year period, but also by the presence of numerically significant series enabling numerous observations of production techniques. Non-decorated tiles, unattractive and often retrieved from rubble deposits, are rarely studied given their great simplicity. The present article lays ground-work with a view to establishing an Ile-de-France corpus. |
