Welcome to this weeks video which takes a look at Neolithic Carved Balls. What exactly where they for and what do we know about them to date? Hopefully this video covers the majority of our knowledge on the carved balls and gives us some clues into what they may have been used for?

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Corrections. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
Errors
1. I feel this may come across like I am in some way mocking Exeter Uni and/or Andrew Young. Just to clarify that isn't how I wanted the forst sectionto come across. Massive respect for trying and conducting hand on experimental acrchaeology.
