Description: | Glass Bead fragment. Moulded translucent mid blue annular bead. One side of the bead, which was probably hand made using a rod as a former leaving a cylindrical aperture exposed by breakage, is thicker than the other; a central moulded aperture is 4mm in diameter. The outer surface is weathered. The short annular form of blue bead was long-lived, and appears in later Iron Age graves at Garton and Wetwang Slack, East Riding of Yorkshire, though the majority may be of Early Anglo-Saxon date in Lincolnshire; they fall into Guido's (1978, page 65) Group 6iv. Suggested date: Unknown, Late Iron Age to Early Medieval, 100 BC- AD 700.Diameter: 9.4mm, Thickness: 4.6mm, Weight: 0.34gms.
