Description: | These four lead-alloy 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, being classically bullet-shaped with a conical rounded tip and cylindrical sides, each one has two circumferential grooves around 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.a) Weight: 4.89g Diameter: 5.6mm Length: 13.4mmb) Weight: 4.80g Diameter: 7.5mm Length: 13.8mmc) Weight: 5.26g Diameter: 7.8mm Length: 13.0mmd) Weight: 5.20g Diameter: 7.7mm Length: 12.1mm
