The edges of a sub-circular perforation can be seen in the centre. The bead is 12.85mm long,  7.82mm wide and 5.94mm thick. It weighs 0.94g. 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 for use in spangles on lace making bobbins in the 19th century. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnost…

Glass bead fragment. Moulded internally translucent cobalt blue glass bead fragment, discoid, of rounded profile, with a central moulded aperture of 15mm diameter. Broken with the loss of half the bead; one side of what remains is chipped. The outer surface is rough and the effect correspondingly opaque, probably from casting in a bed of fine sand. The aperture is too large to admit identification as a spindle whorl of this period. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Diameter: 35mm, Thickness: 14.2mm, Weight: 8.50gms

Glass bracelet fragment. D-section band of blue-tinted clear translucent glass with an apical crest of mid blue glass with thin white diagonal strands symmetrically arranged along it.
