Description: | A globular ceramic bead of uncertain date. It is sub spherical with a possibly drilled circular cenral hole which has a diameter of 2.46mm. The surface is faceted and is a pale buff colour. The ends are slightly flatter than the rest of the bead. There are very few ceramic beads recorded on the PAS database. The most similar examples are: ESS-E9B0B4, ESS-E9B635, WMID-46AFD7 and SOM-FD2345. Most of these are tentatively dated to the Roman period, but may be as late as 1500. There are also few examples in reference books. The globular shape of this bead does not help with dating as the shape was used from Roman periods onwards.
