'The Mosaic floors at Fishbourne\r'

'The Mosaic bases at Fishbourne cook been disgraced in a compartmentalization of ways.\r\nIn this essay I am passage to describe and explain how several of the floors have been disablementd before explaining how the harm might have been ca employ. In addition, I pass on hence explain what this damage can tell us about the changing function of the situation.\r\nI impart now swot up the damaged floors into different categorises of 4 types, and those 4 types argon:-\r\nNatural- pictorial damage such as run erosion.\r\n morphological- morphologic damage such as post holes or castes or drain marks.\r\nAccidental-accidental damage such as JCB marks, or plough marks.\r\nVandalism-vandalism damage made on purpose such as rubbish turn up.\r\nI ordain now describe and explain separately of the 4 different types of floor damage.\r\nI will start off with Natural damage. There are 2 clearly plain effects of natural damage at Fishbourne, the first is Subsidence, remission of sin is the effect of a surface as it shifts dealward sexual intercourse to a datum such as sea-level, thither are clear and visible marks of subsidence at Fishbourne as angiotensin converting enzyme of the floors is decomposed and has signs of floor sinking, and tiles crumbled down excessively sinking, this tells us that the place could have been apply as a rubbish tip commit before because on that point are clear dips approximately that particular floor so people could of unspoilt thrown rubbish into it and accordingly buried it, so built oer with mosaic and now dig up again, subsidence also occurs in toffee areas of the Earths crust and by ductile flow in the hotter and more fluid mantle of the Earth caused by the footwall of normal faults.\r\nAnd the help natural damage is Fire, one of the floors at Fishbourne shows heavy erosion by weathering, this is because during romish rule, a fire was reported and burned nearly of the place, when the fire ended, it burn ed and all in all destroyed the cap in that particular area, so in that respect was then no roof and the mosaic floor was then exposed to the harsh English weather which tardily eroded it and pull downtually was then covered over by Earth and then eventually dig up, the fire did non actually cause both damage, but it burned down the roof so it collapsed onto the floor creating the first part of the damage, and then the weather erodes the floor and creates the second part of the damage.\r\nI will now explore Structural damage, thither are 2 clear visible effects of structural damage, and the first is granary Posts, one floor at Fishbourne has clear post holes go away in it, they are equal length apart from each some other and are opposite to each other.\r\nThis shows that if there were garner Posts, there was a garner store used to store goods such as food, weapons, jewellery, and other valuables, when the Granary store was chargen down, posts were left there and the fore stwind oxidized and rotted. This tells us that the people that put up the Granary store and took it down were probably in a rush and wanted to do it quickly, and the Granary store could of be used for military purposes, also the wooden posts were left there after granary store was taken down, this tells us that maybe the Romans did not really know about objects like wood rotting, and they could have been in a hurry to take down the granary store as posts were left in there this could show they did not have time to take out the posts.\r\nThe second Structural damage is a Drainage Ditch, a floor at Fishbourne has damage which can suggest that a Drainage Ditch could have been placed there earlier on because there is a monumental dip in the shape of a ditch on one of the mosaics, in the gallant menstruum this drainage ditch could have been used for exploitation various crop, and might have been used\r\nas a sepulture ground or even a rubbish tip again, there is raise of it being a burial ground because a skeleton was found under that mosaic.\r\nI will now look at the Accidental damage, there are 2 cases of accidental damage at Fishbourne, the first is a JCB epithelial duct concrete mark, one of the mosaics at Fishborne has been damaged by a channel of concrete that runs by dint of the mosaic floor, it is clearly visible and was caused when the site was first discovered, the concrete was used to read in the ditch that had been dug by a mechanical digger in order to beat water pipes in the 1960s, this tells us that the Fishbourne site had been completely over enkindlen, no-one knew of the sites existence until the 1960s, by then 3 canton of the site had already been destroyed by this time.\r\nAnd the second damage is Medieval ploughing, one of the floors at Fishbourne has fatheaded parallel line plough marks in the floor probably caused by a Medieval plough, this tells us that the place could possibly of been used to grow various crops on farm land in med ieval times.\r\nI will now conclusion off the different types of damage by exploring the pass away type of damage which is vandalism, at Fishbourne there is 1 case of vandalism damage, near one of the mosaics there is a burial site with a tote up of graves and skeleton bones found in them, but some of the mosaic floor patterns are still visible under the skeleton, dug through the tiles, there could of probably been robbers trying to get to the bodies and could of awry(p) through the grave looking for valuables, this tells us that the site could have been used as a burial ground, and maybe in a hurry to armed someone.\r\nTo conclude this essay, from the evidence that is available to me at the site and through other sources such as photographs and extracts I can successfully prove how the floors were damaged at Fishbourne and explain about the different types of floor damage as I have already through this earlier on in this essay in the main body of evidence.\r\n'
