Description: | Translucent Yellow GlassBead. Annular bead with central moulded aperture of diameter 3.2mm. On one surface the aperture is flush with the surface, but on the other it is surrounded by a lightly countersunk area exhibiting a spiral pattern probably produced as molten glass was wound round a rod. Beads of this form and tint originated in the Late Iron Age, were uncommon in Roman times outside native contexts, and were revived along with the popularity of amber beads in the Anglo-Saxon period, though the latter were so common as to make the manufacture of similar beads in glass largely superfluous. Part of a group which may indicate the disturbance of furnished burials of Later Roman or Early Anglo-Saxon date. Suggested date: Unknown, 300BC-AD 800.Diameter: 10.9mm, Height/Thickness: 5.8mm, Weight: 0.88gms.
