摘要	Black-and-white glass beads, designed to imitate banded agate beads, offer valuable insight into the history of ancient glass beadmaking. However, efforts to reconstruct ancient glass production techniques are hindered by a limited understanding of their chemical and physical properties. This study investigated several glass beads from the Phromthin Tai site, Central Thailand during the Iron Age (similar to 2000 BP). Two different glass types were utilized (m-mixed-Ca-Al and m-Na-Ca-Al). Tin oxide, a relatively uncommon opacifier in contemporary Southeast Asian glass, was responsible for white coloration. The black hue was caused by the presence of Fe-S chromophores and Mn4+. The evidence of both winding and drawing shaping methods challenges previous assumptions regarding the exclusive use of folding methods. The manufacture and popularity of these banded glass beads were closely connected to the intensified maritime trade networks extending to South India and Sri Lanka, which served to satisfy the Southeast Asian demand for South Asian banded agate.
