This trio of beads, along with some others, was excavated in northern Marion County, Florida, roughly a half-day's march south of Micanopy. I only know the general area of the excavation.
The center bead is a straightforward lampwork bead. The other two are not perforated, and resemble small, crude, transparent marbles. The bead on the left is a deep bluish-green in color.
DeSoto came through the area, and Spanish missionaries followed. Someone suggested rosary beads as the use for the unperforated pair.
Does anyone here know anything about such trade beads?
