Artifact W00-13 is a fragment of a 5.5" Howitzer shell. It was misidentified in the VBRP report as a 12-pound cast-iron solid round shot. The fragment is approximately ½ of the original Howitzer shell. This artifact has not been well documented. There is an interesting accretion at the base of the fragment's interior.
