Original Message:   Where are they from?

Hi Carole, It has been said many times that no one has demonstrated any Roman Period beads coming from West Africa. Repeatedly, when "Roman" beads are beads from the digs in Mali, they date from the Islamic Period, and have been misidentified. (One may score a better sale's price from people if you say the beads are older than they are. And any time you can connect "Roman" to an artifact, the price can be greatly raised.) Of course, there are MANY Roman Period beads from the Middle East, Central Asia, SE Asia, and even Island SE Asia. So, where are they from?
