Object type: BEAD
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Incomplete object, perhaps a bead, made of beaded silver wire. The wire is coiled into 4½ surviving turns which become gradually smaller, forming a truncated cone. The beading is very neat and perfect, with narrow beads forming transverse ridges on the inner surfaces rather than rounded beads. On the exterior, however, the beads are very worn so that the surface is almost smooth.
The beading on the narrower end is in unworn condition, suggesting that at least one turn of the coil has been lost here. The beading on the wider end is unworn for about half its circumferen…

Two glass beads. The beads are of a pale blue or aquamarine colour. Both are slightly irregular in shape but are essentially sub-oval with flattened sides and a single central perforation. It is often difficult to date beads accurately, especially if they are of very simple design. These beads are therefore recorded as undated although are thought to be most probably of Modern date, AD.c.1750-1900 as the form is not typical of earlier periods. Both beads weigh 0.4g, the larger bead is 9.43mm long by 5.59mm thick by 4.79mm wide, the smaller bead is 8.85mm long by 6.34mm thic…

Such bullets are dated c.1800-1900 and as such have a more uniform set of dimensions than the earlier forms of shot…
