The discovery of a 19th-century message in a bottle by archaeologist P.J. Feret at the Camp de Cesar site in Normandy connects past and present, revealing historical continuity.
Blondel and his team of volunteers unearthed primarily Gallic pottery fragments before stumbling upon a hidden pot containing a glass vial with a heartfelt note from a bygone era.
The venerated note reveals much about the history of the site, shedding light on Feret’s excavations in January 1825 and his continuing research on Caesar's Camp.
The small glass vial, once worn around women's necks to combat fainting, symbolizes the intersection of history, personal experiences, and the academic drive of earlier archaeologists.
