Object type: PIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near-complete copper-alloy pin of possible Roman date, c.AD 43 - 410. The pin is of probable Cool Group 1. The head is globular.

A complete copper-alloy post-medieval pin terminal. The object is flattened and crudely crucifom in shape with a raised cruciform ridge on one face and cruciform groove on the other. There is a break in the centre of the outer end of one arm, presumably where a shaft would have projected originally.  Other examples recorded on the PAS database have been attributed a post-medieval date: LON-A9B8F7, LON-A9B8F7 Length: 25.32mm, width: 19.91mm, thickness: 3.25mm, weight: 3.84g

An incomplete copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) pin. Only the lower end of the pin head suvives. This is crescentic-shaped suggesting that it formed a loop of some sort originally. Below this is a collar c.11mm wide ribbed with multiple transverse grooves and a flattened rectangular shape in cross-section. The stem below this is circular in cross-section and tapers to a blunt tip at its lower end. The surface of the metal is corroded with a reddish-brown patina in places.  Without the upper part of the terminal it is difficult to be certain of the pin's type, bu…
