Bronze Age gold bead. Circa 1500-1100 BCE. 0.56g. 10mm. A biconical bead with slightly dished, concave faces and a central hole. The bead is similar to those recorded from Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire and Harlow, Essex, the former from a stratified Middle Bronze Age context. Ref: Varndell 2000, 12, no.1; 2005/6, 17, 270, no.6. Middle Bronze Age gold beads are a relatively rare find and can be contextualised with reference to the so-called 'ornament horizon(s)', which see a proliferation of bronze and gold ornaments in Southern England and Britain (respectively) during the period c.1400-1100 BCE. Ref: Smith 1959; Roberts 2007. This example was found in Essex 1987.
