Military Items Found Among Spoils of 1541 Spanish-Chickasaw Battle (IMAGE)
Caption
Europeans rarely traded or gifted military items. The presence of objects such as this palm-sized cannonball, lead shot and a ramrod tip at Stark Farms is one reason Cobb and his colleagues believe many of the items were spoils collected after the 1541 battle between the Spaniards and Chickasaws.
