Title
Possible Roman needle
Description
English: Copper alloy needle, possibly Roman. The needle has a square section and tapers to a point at one end. At the eye end the needle flattens out and there appears to be the bottom section of a loop forming the eye of the needle. The shaft is slightly more swollen at the centre than the ends. The object measures 66.2mm in length, 7.5mm in width (across the widest point of the remaining eye loop) and 3.9mm in thickness. Similar bone examples have been recorded from Aldborough and can be seen in the 'Finds from Roman Aldborough' report, M C Bishop 1996, fig.17, nos.162 & 163.
