Abstract This study uses chemical analysis (micro-XRF) to study a group of ceramic roof tiles from the Early Christian basilica in Paliambela (N Greece) that carry a number of different fingerline signatures, in order to collect compositional data on the provenance of the tile materials. It analyses the interrelatedness of the signatures and discusses alternatives for their meanings. Based on the results of the chemical composition of the tiles, the fingerline signatures on the roof tiles seem to be related to the internal workings of a single workshop, as opposed to representing different workshops.
