FYI:
 
I have attached an image with three of the Man-in-the Moon beads, one with
the stars still present, and the back of two.
 
These are all in tight Early Spanish colonial context (1698-1719) at a
frontier presidio
in Pensacola, Florida, on and under the floor of a church which is crowded
with burials,  we have found several very rare glass disk beads that are
clasified as Man-on-the-Moon or WIIIc by Fogelman 1991 using the Kidd and
Kidd system.  They are blue, flat, and have the moon and stars in gold
applique on them.
 
I know this bead type is very rare, especially in the Southeast.  Has
anyone found them elsewhere, and if so, what was their context?
