Default 80 year old House- question about large bow window- large windowsill-4 feet wide on inside..

Hi,
Ive got an old house... with a large bow window.. On the inside I have a long window sill that hugs the bow window- it is long and wide- approx 4 feet wide... I am painting the sill and window but noticed some holes on ths sill maybe 5 holes.. Was these a reson for these holes? some type of ventilation? They are the size of a screw? I was just wondering if this was standard practice for older homes- that is to drill hole in the sill??
Thanks
KOS
