Description: | Copper alloy bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular and D shaped in cross section with a flat inner side and convex outer side; the sides are irregular in thickness and width. A crack down one side may be damage or may indicate where two ends of a rod were hammered around and together to form the bead. 12.3mm in external diameter, 6.3mm in internal diameter, and a maximum of 7.3mm wide by 2.8mm thick and a minimum of 5.6mm wide by 2.1mm thick. It weighs 2.99 grams.
Simple copper alloy beads of this type were popular from the Bronze Age to the Medieval period although the spread of other material at this site may make a Roman date most likely. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
