Quote:gentlemen, if they had lead in them, it would still be there.
You are right if they poured in molten lead- I'd be amazed if it managed to work loose and slip out of all of them. I was thinking granular lead or even sand followed by resin to hold it all together. But then the sauroter itself may have been plently heavy enough for their tapered shafts- it only needed to balance a light point.
Is specimen 14821 in your second photo a putative dory head? Can you post a pic of it with the 3 sauroters for comparison?

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
