The eighteenth century glass beads were produced by guilds in Amsterdam and Murano. It is probable that the bead types/varieties were repeated at intervals, perhaps after several generations. For instance, WIA and WIIIC was recovered in an archaeological context (Courtney-Rausch 54) at the Bynum Mound site, outside the eighteenth century Chickasaw villages, perhaps dating 1820 or 1830 - 100 years after WIA was traded within the villages.
Whether the dates are accurate and agree with the village maps developed in Paper 1 (Cook 2005) will be borne out in Paper 3.
The author expresses his kindest regards to the collectors who preserved the contents and information of the features used herein.
