A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan with a central circular perforation. The glass is a mid blue colour and survives in good condition with only a few small scratches. The bead is 9.3mm in diameter, 6.6mm thick and weighs 0.7g. Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty therefore due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and it could be Roman through to modern in date.

Object type: INTAGLIO
Broad period: MODERN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An intaglio of probably Modern date. It is made from pale green glass and is oval in shape, with an inscribed device. It is uncertain what the device is intended to depict. There may be two arms or wings with a head above and a horizontal bar below, but these do not suggest a classical figure. Intaglios such as this were popular items during the 18th and 19th centuries when they were utilised on seals and fobs.

Very small blue faceted glass bead probably dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1900. Even though faceted beads were used in Roman and medieval times, the glass is of a shade of blue which is too bright. Furthermore, the good quality of the glass and workmanship suggest that this bead was made with modern tools or even by machine.

A fragment of a glass vessel, perhaps a bottle. The glass is pale green and contains some air bubbles. It is thickly patinated with an iridescent surface. The breaks are also patinated. The fragment curves but has no diagnostic features. It was found in an area producing lots of Roman finds, but it is not certain whether this is Roman or later. The thickness of the wall may suggest a Post Medieval date.
