> This study is based on a Sample of some 32,000 beads of the 5th to 8th
> centuries, found at 106 sites in nine Anglo-Saxon regions. 56% of the
> beads are made of amber, 43% of glass and 1% of other materials. Of the
> 13,000 or so glass beads, about two-thirds are assigned to one or other
> of the types defined in Chapter 5 of the publication associated with
> this archive. Distribution patterns suggest that some of the beads were
> manufactured in Anglo-Saxon England, while others were imported from or
> via the continent.
