Description: | A fragment of an annular glass bead. It is very pale blue/green with light iridescent weathering on all surfaces. There are several strain cracks close to the perforation on one end. It is 10mm high and weighs 1.91g. Monochrome annular beads have been found in both late Iron Age and Roman contexts and are difficult to date precisely (Guido 1978, 65-6 group 6iia, 140-2). Blue/green examples are the most common, but dark blue, yellow/brown and greenish colourless examples are also known.
