Description: | Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin has a conical head, beneath which are two transverse grooves. The shaft is circular in section and regular in width, though it may have tapered in the missing portion. The break on the shaft is 'V' shaped, giving it a gentle point. The breaks are worn smooth and patinated like the rest of the pin, suggesting they occurred in antiquity. The pin has a smooth but not glossy surface, suggesting the original surface is now missing. It is creamy beige in colour. It has a surviving length of 37.5mm, a maximum diameter of 3.48mm and weighs 0.64g. Pins of this type were in use in the 1st and 2nd centuries. Examples can be seen in Crummy 1983, page 21, figure 18. | 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: | 50
