EXAMINATION AND ANALYSIS OF GLASS BEADS FROM EMPINGHAM, LEICESTERSHIRE
Author(s): M P Heyworth
A selection of 65 glass beads from burials in the Pagan Saxon cemetery site at Empingham were analysed. The beads showed a range fo shapes and colours, including both translucent and opaque beads. Qualitative analysis determined the range of colourants and decolourants used in their production and showed that there is some variation within the bead compositions which may reflect differing origins for some of the beads.
