Beads from Gablonz
Get PDFPart 2 "Introduction" of _Beads from Gablonz._
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Gablonz in northern Bohemia (now Jablonec nad Nisou in the Czech Republic) was a major producer and supplier of glass and ceramic beads to the world market. This production center created beads of myriad forms, using all the major manufacturing methods. This detailed study provides a thorough overview of the various methods including patent details as well as information concerning bead names, shapes, coloring, decoration, sizing, stringing, and historic prices. The text is accompanied by numerous illustrations of the beads under discussion and the tools and apparatuses used to make, size, and string them. There is also a well-illustrated section on the pre-1913 sample cards of two major Gablonz companies, the Redlhammer Brothers and the Mahla Brothers

Peake, Wampum, or Sewant? An Analysis of Shell Bead Terminology in the Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake
Get PDFBeads and the terminology used to describe them provide a powerful look into the colonial relationships negotiated by both Indigenous groups and European settlers. Peake, wampum, and sewant are terms used by both groups to describe tubular white or purple shell beads that developed as a result of colonial interactions between them. This paper uses 17th- and 18th-century documents from Virginia and Maryland to examine the contexts in which bead terminology shifted throughout the region over time. In examining these shifts from the Chesapeake vernacular, this paper provides another avenue by which to understand not only how people used beads to negotiate colonial relationships, but also to demonstrate who was building relationships with whom and the effects of those relationships
The Beads of Athribis, Middle Egypt: an Overview after 10 Years Excavation
No full textIt was in 2012 that the University of Tübingen started the proper excavation of the temple of King Ptolemy XII at Athribis. This temple was reused for many years during the Late Roman (Coptic) and medieval (Islamic) periods until its destruction between the mid-10th and the mid-11th century. During that time the temple was filled with debris and rubbish, and several rooms were temporarily used as animal pens. Beside a variety of objects such as wood, fabrics, and coins, we found hundreds of beads, several pendants, and other jewelry like horn bracelets, bronze rings, and hair needles. We have started to classify the beads in order to produce a catalog of all the jewelry as a basis for further in-depth research
Preliminary Analysis of the Stone, Glass, and Metal Beads, Agusan River Valley, Mindanao, Philippines
Get PDFThe Agusan River Valley in Mindanao, Philippines, has great archaeological significance, particularly for the Age of Contacts and Trade. Intensifying pothunting activities, however, complicate the systematic study of the region due to the loss of the artifacts’ stratigraphic context. This article is concerned with the archaeological research potential of beads recovered from disturbed contexts by presenting results from the multi-level analysis of 200 stone, glass, and metal beads donated to the Agusan River Valley Archaeology and Heritage Project. Descriptive and typological analyses reveals a preference for certain bead shapes and colors, while preliminary compositional analysis identifies similarities with colorants used in glass beads excavated in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. These results provide insights into the cultural lives of precolonial communities along the Agusan River Valley and their participation in a wider interregional exchange network
Bead Color Symbolism and Colonialism in the Mohawk Valley during the Late 17th Century
Get PDFScholarship has long recognized the significance of glass beads in post-Columbian North America. For Northeastern Native Americans, beads were relationally entangled within sociopolitical relationships and the spiritual world. In the Mohawk Valley of eastern New York state, bead types and colors have been useful temporal markers, but their social and spiritual significance has received less attention. This paper seeks to address the metaphysical significance of glass beads from the Veeder (Fda-2) site, a late 17th-century Mohawk village in eastern New York state. Through the interpretation of color symbolism, the Veeder bead assemblage can be contextualized alongside multi-scalar phenomena such as colonialism, disease, warfare, and the large-scale emigration of Catholic Mohawks. Indeed, the selection of specific bead colors can shed light on the villages’ inhabitants state of being and provide a way to further understand the intersection of colonialism and Native American interaction
