Definition 2008-08-24 eE needle [Input: S828SE.j]
2008-09-11 sC pin [Input: S917LC.j]
Description (summary) 2008-08-24 eE a fully preserved copper alloy needle with a bent head. The best preserved portion reveals the original diameter of the piece. The needle point is preserved, and the majority of the surface is heavily oxidated and encrusted with soil. [Input: S828SE.j]
2008-09-11 sC Plain pin with curled head, probably circular cross-section shaft (the thick layer of oxidation makes difficult to reconstruct the original shape of the shaft), slightly bent, pointed end. The pin is entirely encrusted with soil and is badly corroded; in spite of the corrosion layer, the head, a small portion of the shaft are well preserved [Input: S917LC.j]
