History buff - Military question by BuggedEyes 2006-11-19 12:55:59
From http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=10300002GWJT, :

"...a sophisticated ancient settlement, suddenly wiped out by invaders 5,500 years ago..." "...invaders likely hurled more than 1,200 sling-fired bullets at Hamoukar and more than 100 heavy, 4-inch clay balls...."

What was the state of military artillery 5,500 years ago that would have fired these clay balls???
