Original Message:   I agree

The majority of the stone beads found in Africa originated in India. India has been the main production center of stone beads for millenia. From there they were transported across Asia into the Middles East and North Africa and on down into sub saharan regions. They have always been traded and have always travelled. My understanding is that the process of carbon dating would destroy the beads. I need to look into this again. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
