Description
Uncover the stories behind musket balls and small shot with this comprehensive guide. Battlefield archaeologist Daniel M. Sivilich presents a detailed analysis of these historical projectiles, shedding light on their uses as lethal projectiles and in non-lethal alterations. Through over 300 color and black-and-white illustrations, Sivilich provides readers with the tools and techniques to unlock the stories of small shot, tracing the history of musket balls and exploring their association with various types of guns. This accessible work dispels long-held misperceptions about lead shot and offers insights into the lives of those who handled these projectiles. By examining a single musket ball found in a military context, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the site's history and interpretation. With this guide, historians, battlefield archaeologists, and collectors will have the information necessary to answer questions such as what type of gun is associated with the ball, whether it has been altered, or by whom or what it was chewed.
