TRADE BEADS

Well over 200 trade beads were recovered from the Cater site. By far the most common variety of beads were black or white tubular glass beads, though six-sided facetted glass (apple green and blue), round glass (red, green, and blue), wound barrel-shaped glass (black or white), and shell wampum beads were also recovered. And to date, over 100 seed beads (black, white, blue, red, and green) have also been found in flotation samples.
