EXAMINATION OF A GLASS BEAD FROM WINCHESTER, HAMPSHIRE.
Author(s): M P Heyworth
A fragment of a glass bead found in a late medieval context in Winchester was examined and analysed. The bead was of colourless glass but contained small fragments of coloured glass and millefiori. Visual examination of the millefiori fragments suggests it was produced in the Venetian style and is likely to date from the 16th century. Qualitative analysis was used to identify the colourants involved in the production of the glass canes in the millefiori.This is from 118 High Street excavated in 1989.
