Conservation of some Anglo-Saxon glass beads from Barrow Clump, Wiltshire (Pr. 984)

Author(s): Jie Gao

Twenty four glass beads from Barrow Clump were examined after investigative cleaning. The condition of the beads were assessed and documented, and selected glass beads were analyzed using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) to acquire qualitative results on the colourants. To ensure the stability, most of the beads were consolidated with Paraloid B72 solutions in acetone.
