    Tried googling what’s considered essential items by the French government. Couldn’t find an answer.

    But I guess clothes aren’t on that list.

    Since the Archaeologist already search the site I wonder if the bottle was the only thing left to find on the site?

    I am reminded of the scene from “Better off Dead” of the protagonist’s mother’s idea of “Frawnch Cuisine” : Frawnch Fries, Frawnch Dressing and to drink, Peru (Perrier)

    The message inside the vial read: “P.J Féret, a native of Dieppe, a member of various intellectual societies, carried out excavations here in January, 1825. He continues his investigations in this vast area known as the City of Limes or Caesar’s Camp.”

    The French burned books during the French revolution but others too burned books, the Germans, the Russians, the Puritans and surprise – the Catholic church when it was alleged the Talmud contained blasphemous writings.

    Did that museum get any takers? Were the docents arrested as voyeurs? (Why yes, that is a French word. Why do you ask?)

    The museum would rescind its invitation the instant I showed up. They would be worried about the exhibits being speckled with gore as patrons frantically clawed at their eyes.
