Title
bead (profile)
Description
English: Glass bead that is black in colour and slightly translucent, with swirling patterns within the glass, but worn and scratched on the surface. The bead is circular in plan and asymmetrically ovoid in profile, with a cylindrical 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 barrel bead on page 33, Fig.34, No.628, which is dated from the post-Roman period. Roman beads in stratified local contexts are rare, but examples of similar 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.
