An near complete translucient blue coloured circular trading glass bead with some pitting to the surface. The bead appears to have been manufactured by a mounding process as there is no evidence of it being formed by winding on a madrel. Trade beads were produced in huge numbers from the late Medieval to the early modern periods. The perforation has been worn on one side suggesting the bead may have been worn on a cord or chain for a period of time. Dating is difficult as the context the bead was removed was not preserved. Possible dates from the post-medieval to the la…
