Description: | A complete glass bead of possible Roman or Early Medieval date (AD 43 - AD 1066). The bead is translucent and bright mid to dark blue. It has convex sides with flattened ends and could be described as being oblate in form. The surface has fine pits over it which may be due to abrasion, and there are slight concentric striations which may be the result of a marving process. There is a centrally situated longitudinal perforation which has parallel sides and it is slightly off-centre. The diameter of the perforation is 4.42mm. The bead is 8.95mm diameter and 4.68mm thick. It weighs 0.4g. The bead possibly dates to the Roman to Early Medieval periods.
