An incomplete copper alloy pin dating to the early medieval period (AD 800 - AD 900). The pin head is large and biconical in shape, with a flattened top. There is a collar below the head and a very short section of shaft has survived. The metal is worn and mid green in colour. The pin is 19.0 mm long, 14.6 in diameter and weighs 10.8 g. A typology for early medieval pins has been synthesised by Haldenby (2012). This example falls into the biconical type (Haldenby 2012, 6).

Two incomplete copper alloy pins dating to the early medieval period (AD 850 - AD 1000). The pins are globular in shape, with flattened tops. Both pins are possibly decorated, but it is difficult to distinguish between pattern and damage. Pin 1: A short section of shaft has survived, which terminates in a worn break. The metal is worn and mid green in colour. The pin is 12.9 mm long, 9.1 mm in diameter, and weighs 3.1 g. Pin 2: Only a short stub of the shaft has survived. The metal is very worn, with a mix of brown and dark green patches. The pin is 7.8 mm long, 7.1 mm in diamet…

An incomplete copper alloy pin dating to the early medieval period (AD 800 - AD 900). The pin head is flat and polyhedral. Both faces are decorated with four ring and dot decorations arranged in a lozenge formation. The pin shank is thin and circular sectioned, with only the upper section surviving. The metal is worn and dark green in colour. The pin is 11.7 mm long, 7.0 mm wide and 3.0 mm thick. It weighs 0.9 g. A typology for early medieval pins has been synthesised by Haldenby (2012). This example falls into the polyhedral-headed type, in which flat-topped pins form a distinc…

A copper alloy plate headed pin dating to the early medieval period (AD 800 - AD 1000). The pin head is in the form of an inverted triangular plate with rounded edges. The plate is decorated with three ring and dot motifs with central perforations, two positioned above the third. The shaft tapers in size and terminates in worn point. The metal is worn and mid green in colour. The pin is 60.8 mm long, 17.3 mm wide, and 0.7 mm thick. It weighs 2.3 g. Other varieties of plate headed pins have been recorded on the PAS database (e.g. YORYM-546D89, YORYM-0EB048) and are discussed i…

An incomplete copper alloy pin possibly dating to the Roman period (AD 43 - AD 410). The head of the pin is globular or spherical in shape, with both the top and lower part flattened. There is no collar. A thin, sub-rectangular sectioned shaft extends from the base of the head and teminates in a worn break. Only a small part of the shaft has survived. The metal is worn and mid-green in colour. The pin is 13.7 mm long, 9.2 mm wide and weighs 4.2 g. Given that globular pins are widespread in other periods, a later date cannot be ruled out without further context. Comparable ex…

An almost complete copper alloy pin of uncertain dating. The head of the pin is spherical or globular in shape. It is undecorated and there is no collar. The shaft is circular in cross-section and bent in numerous places. It terminates in a worn break, only missing the tip. The metal is worn and mid-green in colour with patches of reddish-brown. The pin is 32.6 mm long from head to the bend in the shaft and 34.8 mm long from the bend to the end of the shaft. It is 9.2 mm wide and weighs 4.6 g. Simple, spherical pin designs have been documented in numerous periods, meaning it …

An almost complete copper alloy pin probably dating to the Early Medieval period (AD 700 - AD 900). The head of the pin is biconical and particularly worn and damaged on top. A thin, circular sectioned shaft extends from the base of the head and teminates in a sharp point. The metal is worn and brown-ish grey in colour. The pin is 49.1 mm long, 8.4 mm in diameter, and weighs 2.0 g. Biconical pins are discussed in Haldenby (2012, 6) who describes the various variations seen within the Early Medieval period. Whilst this pin is similar in form to these examples, a later date cannot…

An incomplete copper alloy pin dating from the Roman to Early Medieval period (AD 43 - AD 900). The head of the pin is globular and decorated with an incised pattern of curving, radiating grooves. There is a collar below the head at the top of the circular-sectioned shaft. The shaft is bent and terminates in a worn break. The metal is worn and mid-green in colour. The pin is 34.1 mm long, 7.8 mm in diameter, and weighs 2.9 g. This object is difficult to date given that globular head designs with swirling decoration have been documented in several periods. Roman examples have…
