Two lead alloy shots, one probably from a Carbine and one from a Pistol of Post Medieval dating circa AD 1600-1800. 1. This shot is probably for a Carbine and is spherical in form. Carbine shots usually weigh between 16 - 23 grams. It is light cream coloured with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface. It has a diameter of 16 mm and weighs 21.7 grams. 2. This lead shot is broadly spherical in shape. The shot is likely from a Pistol, which usually weigh between 7-16 grams. I…

A group of nine lead shots dating to the Post Medieval period (c. AD 1600-1800). The shots are spherical in shape, whilst one has a flattened surface suggesting it had been fired. All are pitted and scratched and have a mid- to light grey patina. The shots range in size from c.10mm to c.15mm. As such the larger shots would have been fired by carbines and the smaller by small pistols (Richard Bradley, Worcestershire Archaeology 2020 pers. comm.). Whilst there are several thousand shots recorded on the PAS database it is the exact location of the find that is important to re…

An incomplete lead shot dating to the Post Medieval period (c. AD 1500-1700). The object is roughly spherical in shape with a number of pits and deep scratches over its surface. The shot does not appear to have been fired. The object has a light whitish-grey patina.
