Description: | Fragment of Roman bone hair pin or needle. The Crummy type is unknown, but shape is consistent with a Greep Type A, straight sided tapering to a point. However it could also be the point of a bone needle, See LON-62C774 for parallel. This pin is missing its point and head and is little more than a slightly tapering shaft making it hard to determine if it is a pin or a needle.Length: 55.3mm, Diameter: 2.95mm, Weight: 0.59gReference: Greep, S. 1983.
