Object type: PIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy pin fragment of uncertain date. The pin has a plain globular or spherical head with indentation between the head and the shank, but not a collar as is usually seen. The shank of the pin is short and terminates in a point; it may have been repointed after a break as pin shanks are usually longer. It is hard to confidently date this object; if Middle Saxon it would be similar to Flixborough type 110, or if Roman (which is probably more likely), it would fit in to Cool's Group 2A. Suggested date: Unknown; Early Roman to Early Medieval, AD 75-850.
