While researching the term "colodonte", which was discussed on BCN in 2012, I came across a dozen or so entries into a catalog / dictionary site called WikiWP (for Wiki World Press). The entries were made by Hillary Schwartz in 2013. Her site is billed as "African Beads Wiki - Your source for information on African beads and more".

Some of the entries contain some garbled info, such as referring to Czech pigeon egg shaped beads (these are called "colodonte" for unknown reason) as "wound, drawn beads". Another entry on Mali wedding beads says that these were made by the Prosser process - I don't think that is correct - Floor? Also, this inexplicably appears under French Cross Beads - "The production of Bodoum Beads involved an ancient bead-making technique known as winding or marvering. Glass is first heated in a furnace to make it ductile, then whilst still hot, is slowly wound around a copper mandrel coated in clay or borum nitride."

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew Ms. Schwartz or whether she is a lurker or poster here on BCN. Perhaps we can mount an effort to correct her entries - it appears that comments may be appended. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the entries she posted last year have entered into the on-line dictionary world as "facts".
