| Title |
Roman bone pin with traces of green dye |
||
| Description |
English: Incomplete Roman bone pin. This pin is simply a tapering shaft with a plain conical head. The shaft is circular in section, and in this case broken towards the point end. The break is diagonal and worn smooth, suggesting it occured in antiquity. Most of the original surface is now missing, but it partially survives and is smooth, glossy and dyed green. The exposed surface is abraded, rough and beige in colour. The break surface is green, showing where the dye has penetrated into the porous bone material.Pins of this type were used throughout the Roman period, but being dyed, this may be an earlier example. It has a surviving length of 58.12mm, a maximum diameter of 5.44mm and weighs 1.65g. Examples of pins with plain conical heads can be found in Crummy 1983, page 20, figure 17. |
