Title
Roman bead (plan)
Description
English: Glass bead, exposed to the sun and weather so that it is now light blue, but was probably a cobalt blue colour originally. The bead is circular in plan and section and spherical in profile, with a narrowing central perforation and a lip on the edge of the hole, which shows that the molten glass would have been twisted and rolled around a central rod during its manufacture.

Crummy (1983) illustrates a similar short oblate bead on page 33, Fig.34, No.617, which is dated from the 3rd to the 4th century AD.

Roman beads in stratified local contexts are rare, but examples of blue glass beads have been found at Trethurgy, St. Austell and are illustrated in Quinnell (2004) on page 92, Fig.52, Nos.19-21, which are dated to the 4th-6th centuries AD.

Jones (2008) illustrates a similarly pitted blue glass bead from the excavation from Stannon Down, St. Breward, on page 91, Plate 4, which is dated to the post-Roman period.
