Description: | Complete Roman bone counter. This counter is circular in plan and subrectangular in section with slightly bevelled edges. It is light brown in colour and plain. The upper surface is slightly countersunk, with a circular indentation in the middle, which is the result of it being manufactured on a lathe. The counter surface survives in good condition. It has a diameter of 16.12mm, is 3.78mm thick and weighs 1.70g. Counters of this type were in use throughout the Roman period. See Crummy, 1983, figure 94 for numerous examples. | 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
