Got Swag? Investigating Beads and Bead Trade in Scotland during the First Millennium AD (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Heather Christie.

The most prevalent theory concerning intercultural interaction demands a dominant-subordinate relationship in which the subordinate group passively accepts the culture imposed on them by the dominant population. This argument is often applied to Scotland in the first millennium AD, where the transferred cultures are the Irish, Anglo-Saxons, Romans, Norse, and others from continental Europe. Studies of beads in Scotland are particularly affected by these theories: very few beads are seen as...

Heavy Metal: The Arrival of English Lead Glass in the Chesapeake (2013)
