Object type: PIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy pin of Early Iron Age date (c. 800-600 BC). The remaining section of the pin consists of the head, which has three moulded ribs, and a length of the circular sectioned shank. The remains of the pin has been coiled, possibly to make the item smaller and easier to transport or store (for example if it was going to be melted down), or possibly it has been reshaped with the intention of being used as a finger ring. An identical pin, complete and in its original state, has been recorded from Quainton in Buckinghamshire - see BUC-1D3758 on this database.
