Title
A complete Roman bone hair pin dating from AD 150 - 400.
Description
English: A complete Roman bone hair pin dating from AD 150 - 400. The hair pin is a Crummy type 3B. The head bulges out from the shaft and is subrectangular with a convex top. The pin shaft tapers to join the head and bulges outwards slightly as it moves away and then tapers again towards a point.

Dimensions: length: 74.98mm; max diameter of shaft: 3.93mm; width of head: 5.60mm; length of head: 6.63mm; weight: 1.53g

Greep (1983:350) writes "Whilst the overwhelming majority of these forms belong to the third and fourth centuries, Crummy's (1979, 161) date of c.AD 200 for the arrival of these types is challenged by a small number which may be dated to the mid and later second centuries. The date range should therefore be extended to c.AD 150-400."

The associated pottery assemblage form this site point to a second-early third century date.

Other Greep type B1.1 and Crummy type 3 hairpins on the database are PUBLIC-B37D88, LON-527442 and LON-528F54.
