Description: | A complete, globular ceramic bead of uncertain date. The bead is sub-spherical with a possibly drilled circular central hole which has a diameter of 2.1mm. The surface is smooth and is a pale creamy orange colour. The ends are slightly flatter than the rest of the bead. The record for a similar bead - SWYOR-473485 - states that there are very few ceramic beads recorded on the PAS database and few in reference books. The globular shape of this bead does not help with dating as the shape was used from Roman periods onwards. The majority of finds from this area are of Medieval or Post Medieval date, however there are also plenty of Roman and Early Medieval finds, therefore a broad date range for this bead has been given. For other similar examples see LIN-93E513 and SWYOR-E1CD53.
