Description: | A Roman bone pin, which Crummy (1983; 21 - 22) defines as a Type 3 pin. It should be noted that this is very similar in appearance to Cool's (1990; 151 & 154) Goup 1 metal pins which were used throughout the Roman period. This contrasts to the bone type which Crummy argues was only in use from the third century onwards.
The pin itself has a globular head which is rounded and has a diameter of 6.78mm. The shank slightly flares to a wider diameter 26.13mm down (the diameter at this point is 4.43mm) and then tapers into a point. It can also be noted that the pin is a darker hue of brown starting at the head, gradually becoming lighter as the point is observed. | 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: | 200
