Look at the help file for ?load and in particular look at the "Value"
section. You'll see that a call to load() returns (invisible) a
character vector of the names of the variables that were loaded from
the file, so:

R> vars <- load('tiling.data.rda")

And look at the names listed in vars to see what was loaded from the file:
R> vars

HTH,
