Description: | Fragment of Roman bone pin. This fragment represents the head of the pin. It is semi-circular in section, in that one side is flattened, and tapers to a point. The head is ridged and grooved so that it forms a disc, then a globule, a further three discs diminishing in size as the head tapers, and is finally topped with a conical terminal. The shaft is stepped beneath the bottom disc, and is circular in section. It has a clean, horizontal break, that is now smoothed over, so presumably occurred in antiquity. The surface of the pin is worn and abraded. It is creamy white in colour. The surviving length is 32.58mm, of which 8.48mm is the shaft. It is 7.72mm wide across the widest point of the head, the shaft has a diameter of 4.16mm and weighs 0.86g. A similar, though less elaborate ridged and grooved pin was found at South Shields (Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984,85, number 2.525).
