Title
Stone bead of uncertain date
Description
English: This is a stone bead of unknown date. The bead is oval in section and in plan. A narrow, circular perforation of 1.74mm runs through the centre of the length of the object. The bead has a length of 13.10mm, width of 10.61mm and weighs 0.93g.

Dr Kevin Leahy writes: it is likely that this find represent a fossil sponge known as 'porosphaera' which, although used as beads during some periods of the past, are natural in origin.
