THE FIRST POLO BALLS?
Journal of Archaeological Science report an international team of archaeologists has found three ancient leather balls in tombs of a prehistoric Yanghai cemetery near the modern city of Turfan in northwest China. The Turfan balls were radiocarbon dated to the time interval between 1189 and 911 BC. Although the exact use of the balls and connection to early polo is not proven, it is still an interesting find.
