<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Hi Stephen
<div><br>
<div>I would be very interested in any data on bone type from your sites. I'm trying to get an idea about how much horse has been ID'd in these assemblages. Both actual bone types (MT/MC other) and numbers (any kind of data which might give an idea of MNI- number of horses represented) and how this compares with other animals - seemingly the primary bone is cattle/bos?</div>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Hi Lena,
I,ve a lot of information on British pin manufacturing sites, but from your post
it looks like you have a great assemblage. As Ian Ridler notes I published a
workshop from Canterbury a while ago (a mid fourth century deposit), but I have
a lot more data.
Most British evidence of pin manufacture comes from town sites, but there is
some from rural sites - e.g. From the villa at Piddington) but most of this are
isolated examples rather than complete workshop sequences.
If you'd like some more information and help let me know and I will help as much
as I can. I've records of around 10,000 British bone hair pins and am about to
embark on a project looking in more detail at some assemblages, so I would be
very interested in hearing more about your finds in any case.
I see others have sent you some useful publications which are all good. We don't
(yet) have a comparable catalogue from a uk site, but my PhD (alas unpublished)
has a very large body of material.
Let me know if you'd like more detailed help - and I would be very interested
from a personal point of view in any case

large proximal and distal ends down to broken-off hexagonal offcuts. It is a
rural site, but very close to a Roman town in southern England.

Sagalassos (Turkey). There is unlikely to be time for me to do a in-depth
analysis of the bone working procedure, but the assemblage would be retained for
future research.
