Title
A complete Roman bone hair pin dating to AD 150 - 400. The hair pin is a Greep type B1.1 and Crummy type 3.
Description
English: A complete Roman bone hair pin dating to AD 150 - 400. The hair pin is a Greep type B1.1 and Crummy type 3. The head is spherical and crudely formed. The pin shaft tapers to join the head and bulges outwards as it moves away and then tapers again towards a point.

Dimensions: length: 93.61mm; diameter of shaft: 3.68mm; diameter of head: 6.56mm; weight: 1.54g

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 LON-77F07C, PUBLIC-B37D88, LON-527442 and LON-528F54.
