|  | |  | | | Musket Balls | | | Three roughly .58 caliber musket balls, two of which display remnants of the pour hole. The soldiers at Los Adaes were horse soldiers, and they carried an escopeta—or smooth bore long arm, that was shorter than the standard infantry musket. The average diameter of these musket balls is 1.48 cm. Object conservation by Jay C. Blaine. | | Photo credit: Don Sepulvado
