Description: | A corroded and complete cast copper alloy annular bead, of unknown date. The bead has an angular D-shape or sub-triangular cross section and is pierced with a central hole approximately 5 mm in diameter. The slight grey patination colour to the metal suggests that the bead has an increased tin content. It measures 11.31mm in diameter, 5.11mm thick and weighs 2.1grams.This particular bead has been found with a wealth of objects dating to the Roman period (c. 43-410 AD). However, as these types of beads have been manufactured from the Bronze Age to the Post Medieval period a positive date is uncertain.A similar bead was recently discovered by another finder in close proximity to this one and has been recorded on the PAS database as SUSS-368530.
