Kidd Variety

Bead Description

Ib*

Very large, tubular, opaque surf green bead with three opaque redwood stripes. Similar to the Ibb’1* variety but with simple redwood stripes. *No specific Kidd variety is available for this bead due to the simple construction of the stripes (n = 1).

Ib4

Large to large, tubular, opaque black beads with five opaque white stripes (n = 2).

Ib7

Very large, tubular, opaque white bead with two translucent navy blue and four opaque redwood stripes (n = 1).

Ibb'1*

Large, tubular, opaque surf green beads with three compound stripes of opaque white on opaque redwood glass. *Unlike the Ibb’1 variety, the stripes on this bead are straight not twisted (n = 2).

IIa9

Medium, round, colorless bead (n = 1).

IIa13

Small to medium, round, opaque white beads (n = 43).

IIa15

Small to medium, oval, opaque white beads (n = 13).

IIa28

Medium, round, translucent dark palm green beads (n = 3).

IIa40

Small to medium, round, semi-translucent/opaque robin’s egg blue beads (n = 65).

IIa46

Small, round, opaque shadow blue bead (n = 1).

IIa55

Small to medium, round, translucent bright navy to deep navy blue beads (n = 7).

IIa56

Very small to small, circular, translucent bright navy to deep navy blue beads (n = 49).

IIa57

Small, oval, translucent navy blue beads (n = 5).

IIb18

Medium to large, round, colorless beads with eight, eleven, or twelve opaque white stripes (n=19).

IIIc1

Medium to very large, square-tubular, translucent turquoise blue beads comprised of three glass layers: translucent turquoise blue/opaque white/translucent turquoise blue (n = 38).

IIIc3

Medium to large, square-tubular, translucent navy blue beads comprised of three glass layers: translucent navy/opaque white/transparent light aqua green (n = 23).

IIIm1

Medium to very large, tubular, translucent navy blue beads comprised of seven glass layers: translucent navy blue/opaque white/opaque redwood/opaque white/ translucent navy blue/opaque white/translucent navy blue (n = 7)

IVa*

Small, circular, translucent bright blue beads comprised of two glass layers: translucent bright blue/transparent bright blue. *No specific Kidd variety is available for this bead due to the glass color and two layer compound construction (n = 4).

IVa11

Small, circular, white beads comprised of three glass layers: transparent light gray/ opaque white/transparent light gray (n = 6).

IVa12*

Small, circular, shadow blue beads comprised of three glass layers: transparent light gray/opaque shadow blue/transparent light gray. *Unlike the IVa12 variety, the middle glass layer of this bead is shadow blue not bright navy (n = 3).

IVa13

Very small to small, circular, opaque white beads comprised of two glass layers: opaque white/transparent light gray (n = 6).

IVa18*

Small, circular, translucent navy blue beads comprised of two glass layers: translucent navy blue/opaque white. *Unlike the round IVa18 variety, these beads are circular (n = 12).

IVa19

Small, circular, translucent navy blue bead comprised of three glass layers: translucent navy blue/opaque white/translucent navy blue (n = 1).

IVa19*

Small, round, and oval translucent navy blue beads comprised of three glass layers: translucent navy blue/opaque white/translucent navy blue. *Unlike the circular IVa19 variety, two of the beads are round and one is oval (n = 3).

WI*

Medium, short truncated convex cone, opaque light maize beads constructed of unusually heavy glass. The narrow end seems to have been ground or filed flat, often appearing slightly convex. *No specific Kidd variety is available (n = 18).

WIIe*

Large, melon-shaped, translucent/opaque light maize beads with alternating vertical ridges and "twisted rope" molded impressions. Similar to a bead identified as a "seven oaks gilded molded" depicted in Smith (1983:Figure 1, Row 4). *No specific Kidd variety is available (n = 2).

Frit-cored

Large, round, bead comprised of a coarse, porous yellowish-brown material with random opaque white glass dots on the exterior. Highly deteriorated (n = 1).

Tile bead

Medium, short-tubular, shiny opaque black bead (recovered from a 19^th century context) (n = 1).
