2.1.3 Round White Beads
Like circular navy blue beads, round white beads (Kidd
IIa13) are fairly common on early 17th-century sites in
eastern North America. Although not particularly
diagnostic artifacts, they are regularly found in
archaeological contexts linked to initial
European/indigenous trading ventures in the greater
Middle Atlantic and Northeast.
