Sažetak
The paper presents a chronological and typological overview of multi-headed pins that were in use throughout the early Hallstatt period. The wide area of distribution supports the fact that this type of pin was present in various Hallstatt cultural groups, but only in male graves. Within the area of their distribution, certain sites and cultural groups stand out with large amounts of such pins in graves. All authors who have dealt with typology have based their divisions on the basis of developmental forms that are placed in a certain chronological framework on the basis of other grave goods in a closed context. In addition to the typological and chronological division of pins, the paper also considers their function. The main function of pins is to fasten clothing, but in a few cases we can infer that in grave contexts they sometimes played the role of binding the shroud as well as the organic wrappings of urns or other important groups of finds. Regardless of the context, the question remains open whether this mechanical function of fastening fabric or leather was also the primary function of multi-headed pins.
