Introduction: The Archaeology of Beads, Beadwork and Personal Ornaments

Alice M. Choyke and Daniella E. Bar-Yosef Mayer

Beads are commonly defined as being small ornaments perforated through their centers and small enough to be worn on the body. Beads sewn on clothing, parts of composite body decoration from anklets, to bracelets, to girdles, to necklaces and to headbands may be identical or mixed in their size, shape and raw material (Dubin 2009). Beads can be strung in a series on a thread, sewn individually onto clothing, or traded as separate objects that can be counted. They can be dismantled from garments and body ornaments and shared between individuals or given from the living to the dead as part of burial ritual. Pendants are a type of bead that is perforated at one or both ends rather than symmetrically through the middle (Kenoyer 1991). They also can be part of a series of similar objects strung together on a filament of sorts or one of a kind, meant to be accentuated in a special way.

For anyone seriously studying beads, especially with the archaeological material, there is a frustration that most papers dealing with all their various manifestations tend to be scattered in isolated articles. This disarticulated publication record makes it particularly hard to see past the huge diversity of beads and bead use throughout human history. It becomes almost impossible to see patterning of any sort in the way humankind treated with this kind of ornamentation during its long history down to the present day. Theoretical modelling for tackling bead studies becomes extremely difficult and methodologies continue to be invented and re-invented. Consensus is virtually non-existent because of this lack of any sort of serious academic forum, at least within the world of archaeology. This volume of collected articles is intended to bring together specialists from diverse backgrounds and intellectual approaches, working on geographically separated bead material from the deep past as well as more historic material. The volume is intended to continue and reinforce a serious dialogue between practitioners. The approaches found here are all different but the intent is remarkably uniform. The authors all strive to understand the social forces at work behind the technical strategies, utilization and re-utilization of ornamentation in their particular part of the world and time period.
