A complete glass or stone bead of uncertain date. The bead is spherical with a central circular perforation. The bead is pale green in colour. The bead is 8.2mm in diameter, 6.8mm thick and weighs 0.6g. The perforation is 2.7mm in diameter. Beads are very difficult to date with any certainty. Similar beads have been recorded on the PAS database as LVPL-7076A9, SF-E25990, and SF-84B45F with a range of dates. Glass beads are often thought to be Roman in date though blue glass beads were commonly used in spangles on lace making bobbins in the 19th century. Due to a lack of contextu…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete stone spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is made of a flint. It has been shaped through covering, scaled retouching on one side and the edges. The other side retains its natural, smooth surface until it meets the covering, scaled retuching at the edges. A sub-circular central perforation is present. The end of the perforation on the worked side of the spindle whorl is wider than the end of the perforation on the unworked side, suggesting that the hole was drilled from the worked side. The spindle whorl is undecorated. The spindle whorl is 30.2mm in diameter, 11.…

A complete stone bead of uncertain date. The bead is oval with a very fine central circular perforation running through its length. The fineness of the perforation could suggest machine manufacture, meaning that the bead would have a Modern date of c.AD 1900-present, although the lack of contextual evidence means that this cannot be stated with any certainty. The stone is black in colour with white, mottled discolouration on its outer surface. Slight fragmentation at the narrow ends of the bead reveal the black core of the stone.

A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan with a slightly off-central circular perforation. The glass is a dark blue colour. There is a chip and scratch on the outer edge. The bead is 9.8mm in diameter, 4.6mm thick and weighs 0.5g. The perforation is 4.7mm in diameter. Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty. They are often thought to be Roman in date though blue glass beads were commonly used in spangles on lace making bobbins in the 19th century. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to…
