Description: | A lead alloy musket ball. The shot is spherical. It has a diameter of 18.05mm. The surface of the ball is pitted and there is a small casting flash. The colour of the ball is creamy yellow with a poor patina. 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). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
