Full Description
Fragment of a large jet or shale bead of flat spacer-plate type (surviving dimensions are 3.2cm long x 2.5cm wide x 0.8cm thick). Only one original edge survives (which is slightly curved) and the bead has been split in half, revealing a single longitudinal boring. The fragment has been subsequently re-used with a single transverse boring close to the surviving edge. Probably EBA. Found by Edward Savery 1994 (S1).
