Lead coffin, likely from 14th century, found under Paris' Notre Dame
Archaeologists have found an ancient lead sarcophagus with well-preserved contents, probably from the 14th century, under Paris' Notre Dame cathedral. Christophe Besnier from France's National Archaeological Institute said a small camera placed inside the sarcophagus showed "cloth remains, organic matter such as hair and plant remains". A pit was also found immediately below the cathedral floor.
