Pins are straight pieces of metal with a pointed end.  Woolley lists 8 types of pins based on their style.  Woolley's type 1 are straight pins, pierced or unpierced with a ball head of material other than metal.  Woolley's type 2 has a knobby head of metal.  Type 3 is a pin with a domed head of metal.  Type 4 has a rolled head.  Type 5 has a flattened and rolled head to hold feathers, and is listed as a hairpin in our typology.  Type 6 has anthro/zoomorphic figures on the head.  Type 7 has a bent head sometimes with stone beads at the end.  Type 8 has a rounded head.  Pierced pins may have been used to hang toggles or cylinder seals.  Pins are mixed between style and period.
