Description: | Lead musket ball. Cast ball flattened by impact and with deep striations running across its flattened face, patinated overall. The mass, over an ounce, may suggest this to be apt to use with a smoothbore muzzle loading firearm of military specification. The distinctive form of impact damage may arise from this striking a planked surface, possibly a target (cf. Harding 2012, pages 69-74, fig. 15, plate 30). Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 22mm, Thickness: 14.1mm, Weight: 30.70gms.
