Title: ovoid sling stones
Post by slingbadger on Dec 24th, 2006 at 10:01am
Just got done perusing the book Indian and Eskimo Artifact of north America, by Charles Miles
  Seems that in both North America and the South Pacific, the natives made special ammo for their slings. They were ovoid baked clay shot, very similar to the clay glandes of Europe. These are all pre Columbian finds.
 Just shows that's mans needs and solutions are universal.

No indication of sizes or weight. They do have some actual photos of them, but alas, ther is nothing to compare them too. :'(
