Description: | Complete Roman bone counter. This counter is circular in plan and subrectangular in section with slightly bevelled edges. It is creamy beige in colour and undecorated. The upper surface is slightly countersunk, with a circular indentation in the middle, which is the result of it being manufactured on a lathe. The counter is worn and abraded and is now scratched. It has a diameter of 20.5mm, is 2.96mm thick and weighs 1.47g. Counters of this type were in use throughout the Roman period. See Crummy, 1983, figure 94 for numerous examples. | Subjects: | Counter | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
