Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete bone needle probably dating to the Roman period. The stem is circular in section and highly polished. It tapers to a rounded point at one end. At the other, the stem flattens to accommodate an elongated oval faceted eye. Beyond the eye, the head is flattened further and semi-circular in plan. The needle measures 111mm in length and 4mm in diameter. The needle can be assigned to Crummy's Type 2 (Needles with flat spatulate head) (Crummy 1983, 65). This type appears in first to fourth century contexts.

A bone needle, probably dating to the Roman period, broken into three fragments. The needle has a flat rectangular-section head, pierced by a rectangular eye, now broken. The head extends to a circular-section stem which tapers and terminates in a point. The needle measures 84mm in length. The head has a width of 5mm and the stem a maximum diameter of 3mm. Although the head is broken, it appears to be a Crummy Type 2 needle (needles with a flat spatulate head) which were used throughout the Roman period.
