Sewer works in Langdorp expose 3,000-year-old urns: "Very unexpected"

During sewer works in Langdorp, archaeologists from BAAC Vlaanderen discovered prehistoric remnants, including a unique type of flint and 3,000-year-old urns. The findings were unexpected, particularly the urn graves from the Iron Age. The excavations are part of a larger project that requires archaeological studies to protect heritage. The team mapped the treasures throughout September, covering most of the site afterward, except for the area around a future pumping station where the remains were excavated for further research. The discoveries highlight the region's historical significance, suggesting that local residents might find artifacts in their own backyards.
