Excavations at Tell Brak • 2 • Published In 2001 • Pages: 278-279

By: French, C. A. I. (Charles A. I.).

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document

French describes an object listed as a sling bullet for want of a better identification. He describes what the object was composed of, but states 'an easy or straightforward interpretation of this mystery object is not possible, at least through tinsection analysis alone.' (page 279). The figure that illustrates this object can be found in eHRAF document number 43.
