Description: | Incomplete Roman bone counter. This counter is now semi-circular in plan, being approximately half of its original diameter, and sub-rectangular in section with slightly bevelled edges. It is undecorated and the upper surface is mid brown and the reverse is dark brown. The upper surface is slightly countersunk, with the remains of half a circular indentation in the middle, which is the result of it having being manufactured on a lathe. The surfaces survive in fair condition. It has a diameter of 20.18mm, is 3.14mm thick and weighs 0.96g. 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 |
