A few months ago there was a thread on marbles and round shot with holes
drilled through them. Am I remembering correctly that marbles have been
found, in several cases, at military encampments and that the current
interpretation is that soldiers could have been using them to play some type
of game, possibly dealing with betting. Or is this way off the mark.
Alternatively, should a collection of five marbles just be attributed to
children out of hand. I don't need a full explanation of marbles, just a
push in one direction or the other.
