<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks again to all of you who had suggestions for what my ‘rectangular
headed pins’ might have been. As it turns out they seem to the terminals
of handle fragments from Roman perforated spoons. Attached are a group
from Victoria Cave, Settle, North Yorkshire, UK. The terminals on a
couple of these are remarkably similar to my objects from Wattle Syke.
The function of these perforated spoons is unknown but they are Roman, possibly
associated with the military and seem to be distinct to northern Britain. I
know of examples from Newstead, Castleford and Dalton Parlours, and I think
there are some found in York but I’ve yet to chase this lead. </p>

others. Do they turn up in mainland Europe? </p>
