While digging in the center of the Belgian city of Antwerp, archaeologists from the urban archaeology department made an unexpected discovery. Hidden within the earthen rampart of a nineteenth-century fortress was a very, very large dark red metal box. “We saw this metal thing sticking out that was like nothing we had ever seen,” says archaeologist Femke Martens. “Even as we were staring at it, it began to fall apart, so we had to document it as fast as we could.” The team, which included archaeologist Daan Celis, rushed to brush dirt from the letters painted on the side and were able to make out a few snippets of text, including: “NITURE REMOVAL TO HOUSE,” “ENQUIRE AT ANY STATION,” “BK769,” and “LNER.” “We thought maybe it was some sort of container or a freight elevator, but really had no idea,” says archaeologist Lies Dierckx. “Half an hour after we looked inside, it collapsed because of all the soil pressure.”
