Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Application of a new statistical technique to the 1956 spectrographic analyses of Stone and Thomas gave good discrimination between beads from different areas--Scotland, England and the Mediterranean--and supported the view that the British examples, especially star and quoit forms, were not imports from the Mediterranean. It has recently been argued (70/625) that the Wessex Culture of Britain had ended before Mycenaean culture emerged, and evidence for pre-Myceaean contact is poor; moreover faience beads are scarce in the intermediate areas of the European distribution map. The manufacturing process could have been independently discovered by British metal-workers, especially if the one-stage method was used (as in Iran). Culbin and Glenluce would be likely centres of the craft in Scotland, and if some beads were made there, the examples from England and the Scillies were probably locally made too. Origins for the form of the segmented beads from Britain remain enigmatic. | ||
