The women from the Ølby site. The site was excavated in 1880 by Sophus Müller. Next to the woman's left arm was a blue glass bead (from Egypt), two amber beads, and two small bronze spirals.

this is interesting. trading in the Med during the period was very widespread apparently.

Perhaps Silasious took them with him when he left Egypt???
Is it likely that the bead wound up that far from its origin due to being plundered from elsewhere?
Fascinating, but why should we be surprised that their was trade in those days?
