Samenvatting

At Wijnaldum some 170 fragments of glass vessels (75% of them undiagnostic) and well over 150 beads have been recovered during the 1991-'93 campaigns. The glass vessels had been imported during the whole period of occupation (2nd- 10th c. AD); on­ly in the 4th c. does there appear to be a gap, because typically 4th c. forms with knocked-off rims are lacking. In the Caro­lingian period the imports reached their height. Except for those of the Roman period they are exclusively drinking vessels, predominantly common and widespread types. The finds of a fragment of a crucib­le with opaque yellow glass on the inside, of an opaque yellow tessera and of many undecorated opaque yellow beads indicate that bead-making was practised on the terp. The lack of any production waste was a scarce material and that bead­making took place on a small scale.
