102 Whitby jet was much used for ornaments in the Neolithic and early Bronze Age, but appears thereafter to have attracted little or no attention until the Roman period. Afterwards, its use was sporadic until the nineteenth century, when it enjoyed great vogue in necklaces, bracelets, and other ornaments. Whitby is not the only source of jet in western Europe. Deposits occur in the Aude in southern France and near Santiago de Compostela in north-western Spain. In neither case, however, is there evidence of exploitation in the Roman period.
