Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification: A Guide traces the history of musket balls and small shot, and explores their uses as lethal projectiles and in nonlethal alterations. Sivilich asks--and answers--a variety of questions to demonstrate how a musket ball found in a military context can help to interpret the site: Was it fired? What did it hit?
