Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy bead of uncertain Bronze Age to Early Medieval date. The bead is biconical in form with flattened botton surfaces and a central circular perforation. The majority of the surface has a dark green patina which shows some signs of corrosion. It measures 17.7mm in diameter, 9.15mm thick and weighs 11.3grams. The central perforation is 5.2mm in diameter. These types of beads are produced throughout a long range range, dating commonly from the Bronze Age to the Early Medieval period; therefore the date is uncertain.
