Gotta be careful on the bead i.d.'s Paul , they can be from any period, difficult to date out of context I would say!
What else has turned up on the site?

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.
