Description: | Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin has a conical head, beneath which is a gap of 4mm and then two transverse grooves a 1mm apart. The shaft is circular in section and of equal width (ie does not taper, though it may have tapered in the missing portion. The break on the shaft is horizontal and the exposed surface is smooth and patinated like the rest of the object, suggesting the break occurred in antiquity. The surface of the pin is smooth but not glossy, suggesting the original surface is now missing. It is brown in colour. The surviving length is 36.76mm, the shaft has a maximum diameter of 3.58mm and it weighs 0.80g. 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: | 43
