A resized image of PAS 1007 pin 1 early medieval

A copper alloy pin dating from the middle part of the Early Medieval period, 720 – 850AD. The head is bi-conical in shape with a flat median band. There is a small collar where the head meets the pin shaft. The shaft is circular in section with the point missing. It has a light green patina. It has a length of 25.10mm, width 7.50mm, thickness 1.87mm, weight 2.06g. A similar example is YORYM-FD88B7 on the PAS database.

Notes:

This object and the attached records were recovered from a site which may be the location of an Early Medieval moot site, though later disturbance makes the site difficult to interpret. Archaeological work including trial trenching in advance of development has not yet revealed any further evidence. Most of the finds recovered through metal detecting are Early Medieval; material of this date is rare in West Yorkshire.
