Description: | These four bullets were recovered as part of a group of 80 pieces of lead-alloy shot and bullets found at one site - See DENO-E7E565 for the first entry and more detailed information on shot classification.These four pieces are early lead-alloy bullets (one impacted), are classically bullet-shaped with a conical rounded tip and cylindrical sides, each one has two circumferential grooves around the lower part of the cylindrical mid-section - these grooves were greased for lubrication. Such bullets are dated c.1800-1900 and as such have a more uniform set of dimensions than the earlier forms of shot recorded from this site. There are a number of examples of such early bullets recorded elsewhere on the PAS database. See also DENO-EA59C0 recorded from the same site.Four short, conical bullets with two deep grooves at the base. a) Weight: 11.57g Diameter: 10.8mm Length: 12.7mm (Impacted)b) Weight: 12.13g Diameter: 10.6mm Length: 16.1mmc) Weight: 13.73g Diameter: 10.9mm Length: 16.7mmd) Weight: 14.74g Diameter: 10.8mm Length: 16.5mm
