Description: | A fragment, c. 40%, of an annular (or possibly globular) glass bead. It is colourless, with a blueish tinge and there is a large dark inclusion within the glass. There are horizontal striations and some short vertical cracks on the external surface and light iridescence on all surfaces. The bead weighs 2.27g and is 10.6mm high with a diameter of c.20mm. The perforation has a diameter of c8mm.
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. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Caroline McDonald | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
