Object type: SHOT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy probable musket ball or shot of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1600 - 1800. The object is sub-spherical, perhaps mis-cast with the sprue remaining attached. The object is undecorated though has some fairly deep scratches and pitting. The metal has a light white/grey patina and is in fair condition. The object is 11.8mm x 13.3mm and weighs 13.7g. The weight suggests the object, if a shot, would have fitted a pistol. Sprues were sometimes left in situ to provide an attachment for the cartridge.
