Description: | Complete Roman bone pin. This pin is simply a tapering shaft with a plain conical head. It has a circular section and tapers to a rounded point. The surface of the pin is smooth and glossy and the object has been dyed green. It is 80.48mm long, with a diameter of 4.18mm and weighs 1.36g. Pins of this type were used throughout the Roman period, but the green dye suggests that this may be an earlier example. pins with a plain conical head can be seen in Crummy, 1983, page 20, figure 17. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Caroline McDonald | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
