A complete Post-Medieval cast lead musket ball, c.AD 1600-1800. Its surface is very smooth suggesting it was manufactured in a quasi-industrial context. The musketball is almost intact, apart from two scratches on either sides of the barely-visible casting seam, which may be the result of post-deposition deformation. The very good condition of its surface suggests the shot was found close to its point of manufacture and was never fired.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn Post Medieval cast lead possible musket ball, c.AD 1600-1800. This is a heavily worn lead alloy ball; the wear has destroyed the original surface of the object and any casting seams or decoration that may have once been present, making it difficult to identify. Although the wear is even all around the object, it is not a perfect sphere. Instead, this shot is slightly flattened, which would suggest is was fired and impacted a solid object like a target or the ground.

A probable lead musket ball. The ball is roughly spherical in shape with the longer diameter measuring 26mm and the shorter 23mm. The ball’s patina is white in colour, slightly pitted with a band running around its diameter. This may be a casting seam or may have been formed due to compression during the ball’s firing.

A complete Post-Medieval cast lead musket ball, c. AD 1600-1800. Description: The object is sub-spherical in shape with slight protrusions at either end. The surface is irregular and 'dimpled' throughout, although it lacks any clear damage. The casting seam is no longer visible. The surface patina is a light white with small patches of brown. Discussion: This intact musketball's good condition suggests the shot was likely never fired or, if it was, that it did not hit it's target. The patination and pitting is most likely due to post-depositional processes, rathe…
