Abstract

Excavations of the past two decades in Natal have produced disc-beads made of a variety of materials. Because these materials have not been adequately examined and described, some disc-beads have been incorrectly identified which may lead to incorrect archaeological interpretation. An aid towards correct identification is presented.
