BEAD

Unique ID: YORYM-84ED26

A very small glass bead of unknown date. The bead is sub-spherical with flattened ends and a central hole. The bead is made of blue glass and is in fair condition, with a pitted surface. Beads of this style were used from the Iron Age until the medieval period and beyond and so are impossible to date. This blue colour was popular in the 1st-3rd centuries, but could also be from an Anglo Saxon context. This is also some possibility that this bead is modern in date.
