Description: | A complete copper alloy bead, of unknown dating (AD 43 to AD 1700).The bead is biconvex in shape, small circular central perforation. The external is undecorated, apart from three horizontal grooves running around the edge of the bead.It has a diameter of 11.1 mm. It is 5.1 mm thick. The central perforation has a diameter of 2.6 mm. It weighs 2.7 g.The bead is a dark green to mid brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.Simple copper alloy beads of this type are hard to date without accompanying contextual evidence or any diagnostic features and were used from the Iron Age through to the Post-Medieval period.
