Title:Faience Beads of the British Bronze Age
Originator:Beck, H. C. + Stone, J. F. S.
Date:1936
Summary:Pages 203-252 Of the many objects of the Bronze Age which have defied decay in these Islands, few can rank in interest and importance with a number of small coloured beads which have been found associated with barrow burials and in other contexts. So well known are they, that it seems almost needless to add that their importance lies in the possibility of using them as datum points in the Absolute Chronology of this period. The question of their origin is thus one of extreme importance and one which we propose here to examine.
