Nearly 190 years after the Battle of the Alamo, archaeologists unearthed cannonballs from both armies, revealing rare physical evidence of the historic 1836 siege and its final exchange of fire

Archaeologists just made an incredible discovery at the Alamo. For the first time, they found two intact cannonballs from the famous 1836 battle. Even better? They have one from each side. One is bronze, fired by Mexican forces. The other is solid iron, shot by Texan defenders. These 190-year-old artifacts sat untouched in San Antonio for centuries. They offer a rare, direct link to Texas history.
