This study of the design, manufacture and use of medieval floor tiles shows the long-lasting influence achieved in the north of England, especially by the Cistercian monasteries. It serves to demonstrate how these monastic houses made use of the resources and contacts available to them. The study focuses on one of the richest medieval floor tile assemblages in the world, with material from 118 sites. Over 500 different designs and 60 mosaic arrangements have been identified. Jennie Stopford examines the monastic influence on northern England's manufacture and use of floor tiles. Split into three sections - Chronological Survey, The Tile Groups, and The Sites and Collections - this in-depth study covers an immense body of work.

L’auteur, étudiante en thèse d’archéométrie-archéologie à l’université de Rennes I, aborde dans cet ouvrage, issu d’un mémoire de maîtrise, les matériaux de construction gallo-romains en argile cuite en éclairant plus particulièrement un stade de leur fabrication : la cuisson. Son étude est basée sur un inventaire de 142 sites d’ateliers de tuiliers répertoriés en France, qui lui a permis d’apporter de nouveaux éléments sur le fonctionnement des fours, d’établir une typologie et de tenter une mise en ordre chronologique. Une recherche de ce type avait été faite pour la Grande-Bretagne ; il manquait l’équivalent pour la France. Le travail de F. Le Ny vient opportunément combler ce vide ; il offre en outre des données tout à fait neuves sur cet artisanat qui avait jusqu’alors peu retenu l’attention des chercheurs. Based on the author’s Master’s dissertation, this study deals with Gallo-Roman building materials made from fired clay : particular attention is paid to the firing stage in the production of these materials. The author’s inventory of 142 identified tile factories in France has enabled her to provide new information on kiln technology, to establish a typology and to propose a possible chronological sequence. Although work of this kind has been carried out in Great Britain, a similar study had not been done for France. F. Le Ny’s timely remedy to this problem casts light upon an industry which has seldom been studied. The author is currently working on a doctoral thesis in archaeological science at the University of Rennes I.

The Special Issue “Non-Destructive Testing of Structures” has been proposed to present the recent developments in the field of the diagnostics of structural materials and components in civil and mechanical engineering. The papers highlighted in this editorial concern various aspects of non-invasive diagnostics, including such topics as the condition assessments of civil and mechanical structures and the connections of structural elements, the inspection of cultural heritage monuments, the testing of structural materials, structural health monitoring systems, the integration of non-destructive testing methods, advanced signal processing for the non-destructive testing of structures (NDT), damage detection and damage imaging, as well as modeling and numerical analyses for supporting structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.
