Al-Khaldān uncovers medieval Belgian town
A research team from Ghent University in Belgium, using "mole science," discovered an archaeological site dating back to the Middle Ages in the Damm area of Flanders, hidden underground for over 700 years. They found an ancient brick building gateway, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, which was suspected to be an important commercial port for the city of Bruges. However, it was abandoned and forgotten long ago. Examination revealed that the site contains more than 2,810 artifacts, including medieval pottery and building materials. An architectural plan indicates the presence of a gateway within the structure, confirming the site's historical significance and suggesting that the building belonged to a person of high social standing. The discovery highlights the effectiveness of using small animals in archaeology, as moles helped locate the site without damaging the buried structures. This approach offers a safe and cost-effective method for preserving archaeological heritage.
