介绍（中）	蒙特福特地区位于上加利利，靠近伊斯雷亚尔的阿卡，在十一世纪被法国十字军占领。在十三世纪初，它被德国十字军东征的条顿骑士团收购，他们加强了防御工事并将其更名为斯塔肯贝格。马穆鲁克军队于1271年围攻城堡，使其成为废墟。1925年，武器和盔甲馆馆长巴什福德·迪恩（Bashford Dean）寄予厚望，希望对未受干扰的遗址进行挖掘，可能会发现十字军东征时期的武器和盔甲的例子。1926年，由迪恩组织并由私人资助的实地工作进行。发现的武术文物相对较少，但该遗址确实产生了重要的建筑元素，陶器，玻璃器皿和城堡前居住者的日常生活中的许多其他物品。在军事发现中，有几枚石弹，包括这个例子，可能是在 1271 年被围攻者从弹射器投掷到城堡中。
介绍（英）	The area of Montfort, in upper Galilee near Acre, Isreal, was occupied by French Crusaders in the eleventh century. In the early thirteenth century it was acquired by the Teutonic Knights, a German crusading order, who strengthened the fortifications and renamed it Starkenberg. Mamluk forces took the castle by siege in 1271, leaving it in ruins. In 1925, Bashford Dean, curator of Arms and Armor, had high hopes that an excavation of the undisturbed site might unearth examples of arms and armor from the crusading era. Field work, organized by Dean and privately funded, was carried out in 1926. Relatively few martial artifacts were found, but the site did yield important architectural elements, pottery, glassware, and many other items from the daily life of the castle's former occupants. Among the military finds were several stone projectiles, including this example, which may have been hurled from a catapult into the castle by its besiegers in 1271.
