^{page 124 note *} Useful materials relating to these finds and the various forms of these glazed beads and pendants have been collected by Mr. L. Mc. L. Mann in Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, lx. 387, and p. 396 seqq., and by the HonAborcromby, John, Anthropological Journal, xxxv. (1905) 256Google Scholarsegq. Mr. Abercromby concludes (p. 364) that importation of the beads in question coincides with part of the Hallstatt period of Central Europe, and may be placed approximately between 900 and 600 b.c. The association with these of amber ornaments in the Wiltshire Barrows, as he justly points out. answers rather to the early Iron Age practice on the Continent than to the pure Bronze Age, at any rate in the Central European area. I have touched on these connexions below. It will be seen, however, that the Egyptian evidence tends to carry back the first introduction of these glnzed beads and ornaments in Britain to a somewhat earlier date than 800 b.c.

^{page 128 note *} It does not seem to have been noticed that very valuable evidence for the dating of the central point of the period covered by the great Hallstatt Cemetery is supplied by the class of fibulæ with a long pointed foot and the bow often set with bone nnd amber which answers to a class similarly adorned found with proto-Corinthian vases in the early tombs of Syracuse belonging to the period of about 700–650 b.c. (Scaxi nella, Necropoli del Fasco (Orsi, Not. d. Scavi, 1895) p. 16, fig. 2, &c). Corinthian trade, or that of her great colonies on the Adriatic shores, seems to have been instrumental in spreading these fibula types through the lands north of the Gulf.
