| Abstract: | Carved stone balls occur mostly in Scotland and all the examples are in stone except one of bronze. They have been variously assigned to the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age and early Christian period. The author favours an origin in the Iron Age and suggests that they may have functioned as movable poises on primitive weighing machines. | ||
