Description: | Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin has a conical head beneath which are two transverse grooves 1.8mm apart. The shaft is circular in section, is regular in width (ie does not taper)and has a diagonal break. The surface of the break, whilst not 'fresh', is not worn smooth or patinated in a similar way to the rest of the pin, suggesting the break occurred in the recent past. The original surface of the pin survives in tiny smooth and glossy patches and is light brown in colour. The rest of the surface is abraded and dull, but a similar light brown colour. Particularly abraded patches on the head are cream in colour. It has a surviving length of 60.54mm, a maximum shaft diameter of 3.24mm and weighs 1.01g. Pins of this type were in use in the 1st and 2nd centuries. Examples can be seen in Crummy 1983, page 21, figure 18.
