Description: | Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin has a roughly spherical head that has a diameter of 4.32mm and a height of 4.76mm. The shaft is circular in section and is swollen towards the centre, having a maximum diameter of 3.62mm. The shaft tapers towards a point that is now missing. The break on the shaft is 'L' shaped, and given the creamy white appearance and 'fresh' look, probably occured fairly recently. The rest of the pin has a smooth and glossy surface and is light brown in colour. It has a total surviving length of 64.14mm and weighs 1.28g. Examples of spherical headed pins from Colchester can be seen in Crummy 1983, page 22, figure 19. Following that group, this pin probably dates to the 3rd or 4th centuries. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 200
