Original Message:   "Amlash" Beads

The name is misleading, since these beads have nothing to do with that supposed ancient site. Corning dates these beads to ca 500 BCE. I have always maintained that this is too early. Your date of 1200 to 800 BCE is WAAAY too early. (Where did that come from?) There's no real proof, but I'd place them at 300 BCE at the earliest. Remember, they are millefiori beads. They can't be earlier than the time the millefiori technique was exploited for general beadmaking—that essentially was during the so-called "Egypto-Roman Period."
