Seller says these are about 16x16mm and date to 600-1200 AD. Can anyone tell whether these are that old, or newer?

I would say negative, but this is from my limited experience from the "jatim" type of beads (no text) --- beadbox ( 2017-01-17 18:14 )

      - Beads were mechanically polished in Java—making them once again glassy. Conventionally hot-pinched. --- Beadman ( 2017-01-21 03:34 ) file img
