Description: | Six small-gauge balls of lead shot, formed by casting in two-piece mould with casting 'break': damage to the balls shows that they have been fired. All are about 10mm or fractionally more in diameter. Four show distinct 'rouletting' of bars or parallel notches around the sides, presumably impressions formed upon the bullet by the rifling of the gun from which they were fired, in the process of firing. They each weigh between 6.5 and 7g. All were found together on the same field, and others similar have often been found there before, but are not now distinguishable within the finder's larger collections from miscellaneous sites. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
