Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate relationship they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most common items found in ancient archaeological sites In the past, as today, men, women, and children adorned themselves with beads In some cultures, certain beads are often worn from birth until death, and then are buried with their owners for the afterlife Abrasion due to daily wear alters the surface features of beads, and if they are buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further changed their appearance Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by use and the effects of time Besides their wearability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads possess the desirable characteristics of every collectible : they are durable, portable, available in infinite variety, and often valuable in their original cultural context as well as in today's market Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in shapes, colors, and materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed : their history,manufacture, cultural context, economic role, and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to unravel Even the most mundane beads may have traveled great distances and been exposed to many human experiences The bead researcher must gather information from many diverse fields In addition to having to be a generalist while specializing in what may seem to be a narrow field, the researcher is faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or no documentation Many ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been separated from their original cultural context The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research While often regarded as the“small change of civilizations”, beads are a part of every culture,and they can often be used to

autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began as early as it appeared feasible to so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried, and shelled, with some of the maize slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal-skin bags Later in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later use in underground reserves With appropriate banking of the extra food, the Mandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompanying hunger The women planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they stored them Once again, they saved the seed from the best of the year's crop The Mandans also grew sunflowers and tobacco ;
