Record ID: DUR-CEC0D8
Object type: BEAD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blue opaque glass diamond-faceted bead of uncertain date. It is 8mm long and 5mm in diameter. It is rectangular with facetted corners at each end. There is a central cylindrical hole running the length of the bead. It is possibly Roman or Early Medieval in date but it is impossible to be certain when found as a stray find. Guido’s book on Anglo-Saxon beads (1999, 50-51) says they could be Roman but some are also found in 6th century (and later) graves.

Object type: PIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible iron ring-headed pin with bent ring-head. The terminal of the ring-head has not been moulded onto the stem and this might betray its early date. Considering the not too much corroded state it might be medieval, although the earliest ring-headed pin start in Hallstatt D (Early Iron Age) and this specimen would be of the right shape and length for a period as early as that.
