Original Message:   as to the agate piece...
I agree your judgement on the long agate bead. Since it got 2 circles and it is obviously made by design. I think it not a single case. (If it is Dong son bead? I searched on the net...) I have seen similar ones like this with 2 or 1 designed circles, but just not this long. I have no idea about agate beads from thailand or vietnam or other south asian countries but it is interesting and true that in china's south east coast cities alien agate beads (see the attachment) were imported during the Han (20 BCE) dynasty.
