Description: | Two beads; both roughly spherical with circular drilled holes thorugh them; both have worn breaks and wear around the one end of the hole. One is made of chalk, 11.8mm in diameter with a hole 2.3mm in diameter; it weighs 1.33 grams. The other is made of a granular orange material, possibly sandstone, it is 10.3mm in diameter and the hole is 3.1mm in diameter; it weighs 1.07 grams. They were found next to each other in the fill from a well recently exposed on Atherington beach. Pottery evidence suggests there is medieval and post medieval material in the well but the beads themselves are not datable as similar beads are known from the Paeleolithic to Post Medieval periods. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
