Title
1298 Glass bead.JPG
Description
English: Glass bead diameter 12mm, height 12mm, weight 2.6g, diameter of hole 3mm by 2mm. Creamy glass The walls are uneven, the base is flat and the top is abraded. The glass has a light creamy colour with no inclusions or bubbles.

A seam runs down one side showing that the molten glass would have been coiled around a core.

Similar examples have been found in Early Medieval contexts such as the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Lechlade, in Gloucestershire. Although they are known from Iron Age and Roman contexts such as those found at Dragonby in North Lincolnshire (May, 1996, 321-322). Therefore although these are more common in early Anglo-Saxon contexts a Iron Age or Roman date should not be ruled out.
