ovoid sling stones
Dec 24^th, 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.

The greatest of all the accomplishments of 20th cent. science has been the discovery of human ignorance The main difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits.-Einstein I'm getting psychic as I get older. Or is that psychotic?
