Abstract

Besides monochrome blue-green glass beads, polychrome beads appear, for the first time in Bohemian prehistory, in Late Bronze Age contexts of the Knovíz culture (Ha A, 12^th – early 11^th cent. B.C.). They are formally similar to the beads made in Frattesina and/or other glass workshops in northern Italy. According to the chemical analyses in this paper, the beads from Bohemia also correspond to the North Italian products because they have a mixed alkali composition, a compositional type unique for its time, thus providing evidence of a likely provenance.
