Darn, sorry Gaius, forgot your mosaic link, I am just sending the English language ones:
http://www.mosaicmarble.com/ lebanon
http://www.pompei-mosaic.com/ US based company!!
Wes, on roof tiles, there is ample evidence slate and wooden shingles were used as well. The century fort in Holland actually had a slate roof, slate coming from Germany. 40 by 40 centimeter slabs if I remember correctly. If you go for a century fort, I'll dig up the excavation details on dimensions of the roofing. If you choose oak slats, same. These are basicly boards hand wide, three hands long, with a triple overlap, dead easy to nail in (yes, these were nailed, archeological proof)
