Record ID: GAT-81B814
Object type: BEAD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A blue glass bead with a slightly off central perforation.
The bead is broadly bun / globular shaped and is light blue in colour. The bead has a decorative white stripe of glass within the matrix. Glass beads are common finds from the late Iron Age - Early Medieval period, however stylistically this form is likely to date from the late Iron Age or early Roman period.
Dating beads visually is very difficult, however given similar beads are recorded as being of Iron Age to Roman date, this has been tentatively suggested for this find.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead disc weight.
The weight is circular form and includes a central circular perforation.
The circular perforation may have been used to suspend the weight, but it could also have been used as a means of transporting the weight (for example, hung on a belt). Lead weights in general are difficult to date as they have remained relatively unchanged from the Roman to post medieval period.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch, or fibula, of probable Langton Down or bow type variant. These styles are associated with the period of the Claudian conquest, but had died out by the Flavian period, giving the brooch a likely date of the 1st century AD (Collingwood & Richmond 1969, 293).
