Stone Balls Revisited
Some of my regular readers will remember this story as part of the Pyramid in BiH coverage supplied here over a lengthy time in this space.
Bosnian Stone Balls

I meant to put some new information up on the subject of the possible uses of stone balls. One person I know watched a programme on T.V. about Cappodocia, a community of man-made caves in what now is Turkey, but a long time ago an early Christian community. The people there were often besieged, and they apparently used wheel like stones as a means to block a tunnel in their caves from human entry but to allow people to shoot arrrows out at potential invaders. Sometimes there stone balls were used in flattening floors and in the process of excavating tunnels. The area of BiH that has the most stone balls had many mines for minerals and precious metals, so perhaps these balls were used in the mining process. I need to find out more about this but the headache I'm suffering at the moment prevents my doing this right away.
