Description: | A complete annular glass bead. It is colourless with a blueish tinge. There are small chips around the perforations from abrasion with other beads. The diameter of the bead is 10mm and the diameter of the perforation is 5mm. It is 4mm high and weighs 0.45g.
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 |
