Some of the Anglo-Saxon beads found in Africa come from area of Periplus emporium of Rhapta, Tanzania (stars on map)pic.twitter.com/e3XzO9kGVP
and there was I scratching my head at why I had an AS bead like #2 in pic in Viking Dublin 10th c layer! Pales in comparison.
Oh, v interesting! Yes, they do seem to get around--also poss frag of Anglo-Saxon/Frankish claw beaker in E. Africa too...!
One has to wonder what the main trade items AS were after in Africa, as ornament often a minor inclusion, 'piggy backing'.
Do have a large number of elephant ivory rings from ASE...? Also lots of garnet/amethyst etc which travelled via Red Sea??
Possible that some ppl/goods travelled back along trade routes that brought this material to Britain?
Ah that's a unique enough material to travel that far for! Of course movement of people vs movement of items - perennial q!
