Title
Fired clay bead of uncertain date
Description
English: Sub-spherical fired clay bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in cross section and slightly flattened top and bottom with a circular hole 3.0mm in diameter running through it. It is fairly soft fired and bright orange in colour, there are possible traces of a dark surface, glazing or painting. It is 11.1mm in diameter and 8.4mm wide and weighs 1.07g.

Due to the plainess of this item it is hard to suggest a date but such beads are known from the Roman period onwards.
