Description: | Fragment of Roman bone pin. This pin has a flattened, spatula head, that has received damage to its tip. It is possible to make out the bottom of an incised 'X' to either side. The shaft of the pin is circular in section, and regular in thickness, though it may have gone on to taper. The break is diagonal, the same colour as the rest of the pin and worn smooth, suggesting it occurred in antiquity. The surface of the pin is smooth and gloosy and it is beige. It has a surviving length of 40.48mm, a shaft diameter of 3.92mm and weighs 1.05g. A similar example, also with an incised 'X' can be seen in Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984, 84 number 2.514. | 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: | 43
