A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan with a slightly off-central sub-circular perforation. The glass is a semi-translucent dark blue colour.
The bead is 10.2mm in diameter, 4.9mm thick and weighs 0.5g. The perforation is 5.2mm in diameter.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper alloy bead of unknown period.
The bead is sub-spherical or biconvex, measuring 13.6mm in diameter, 10.1mm thick (through the hole) and weighs 7.7g. The hole is 2.8mm in diameter. It has a patchy, rough brown - green surface, about half of which is of green corrosion products. Much of the original surface is missing and so it is impossible to determine visually whether the bead surface carried any decoration.
A similar, but smaller, bead appears at record SWYOR-AA0195. KENT-EC7838 is also similar.
