Description: | A lead alloy musket ball. The shot is spherical. It has a diameter of 15.4mm. The condition of the ball is good and it is complete. The casting spur can just be seen. The surface of the ball is pitted and rough. There is a small flat area on the ball. It has a light grey colour and is dusty. It is post medieval and probably dates from 1644. Musket balls are discussed in Courtney??s ??Small Arms Accessories of the Mid-Seventeenth Century?? (1988) and on page 202 of ??Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition?? by Geoff Egan (2005). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hall, Chris | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
