Clay Marbles

[romeo-1]

These were found at the low tide zone on a site that saw extensive military action in the early 1700s up until the mid 1800s. Marbles are usually found at home sites and these were as far away from a home site as possible. They are clay (I think), one has a dimple and they are not perfectly formed (round). Besides clay marbles what else could these be? They were also found within inches of each other.

they may have been shaped by nature.

I thought of that too and would not be surprised...they were found in a bed of mussels...dirty pearls?
