Description: | Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin has a roughly spherical head, that is slightly elongated. It has a diameter of 4.56mm and is 6.38mm in height. The shaft is circular in section and the upper shaft has a very slight swelling, giving it a maximum diameter of 3.58mm. The shaft is broken with a clean horizontal break, that is worn over, suggesting it occurred in antiquity. The surface of the pin is heavily abraded. There are patches of the original surface which are mid brown, smooth and glossy, but the surface is mostly rough and light brown in colour. The pin has a total surviving length of 52.98mm and weighs 0.81g. 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
