Object type: SHOT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead possible shot of Post-Medieval date, c.1600 - 1900. The object is spherical with flattened opposing apexes. Diameter: 12.6mm; Weight: 8.3g. It is difficult to precisely assign projectiles to specific calibres of gun because most excavated shot will have lost weight, there was a huge variety of firearms, balls were imperfectly manufactured, and because lead varies in weight. The weight of the shot however suggests it may have been meant for firing from a weapon such as a pistol.
