What else has turned up on the site? Title: Re: eyes only 2 Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on July 26, 2009, 06:36:13 PM I thought the blue beads were Roman , see always learning!
Title: Re: eyes only 2 Post by: silky on July 26, 2009, 06:53:55 PM the bead came from a new site ,i also found some shards of flint which predates the bead ,the field is in crop at the moment so ive got high hopes of making some more eyes only /metallic finds come september.

Title: Re: eyes only 2 Post by: waltonbasinman on July 26, 2009, 07:14:45 PM Roman style beads were being traded with the Britons as much as 1000 years before they were invited in, in 43 ad. I have excavated about thirty or fourty similar beads all from a Context of around 200 ad but usually on sites whose earliest phase was about 500 ad. So could date from any time from that period.
