Hi Fernando
The Ridderholms ship: i dont have the book handy here, but its a late 15th.century ship. The cannon is typical forged construction with chamber in the back. It could have sunk in the early 16th.c.

The Canister: Maybe its just my bad english. The barrel holds a wooden container, a sort of kartesche full of flint pieces/stones.

The very small leadshot from the castle findings (6mm) is just an enigma to me, thats why i thought of maybe a kartesche?? hope someone here can shed light on it.

Also i dont know how common findings of medieval and early 16th .c lead balls is??

Regards
Per
