Description: | Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin is simply a tapering shaft with a a plain conical head. The head is slightly flattened. The shaft is circular in section and tapers to a point, that is now missing. The break on the shaft is 'L' shaped, worn smooth and patinated like the rest of the object, suggesting it occurred in antiquity. The surface of the pin is smooth and glossy and brown in colour. Patches are abraded where the original surface is missing, these are light brown in colour. The surviving length is 74.28mm, the shaft has a maximum diameter of 4.66 and it weighs 2.48g. Pins of this type were in use throughout the Roman period. Examples 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 | Temporal: | 43
