Title
Bronze Age Pin
Description
English: A complete copper alloy pin dating to the Middle Bronze Age, c. 1450-1250 BC.

The head of the pin is oval in form and flattened, sitting atop its long tapering shaft, which is circular in cross section. There is a single vertical line extending down the shaft, and a suggestion of linear decoration on the head of the pin, although this is damaged. There is also a small area of horizontal lines on the shaft which survives, although this is also damaged.

This style of pin occurs in northern France and southern England within the 'Ornament Horizon' phase of the late Taunton or early Penard phase of the later middle Bronze Age, approximately 1400-1250 BC. Similar examples include: NMS-99743C, IOW-357A7A, BERK-2E4E35; DOR-CF4B74; FASW-5C5522; GLO-439E61 HAMP-F9F576; NMS-35C944; SF7845and SWYOR-611591.
