West Point discovers time capsule from 1828
Every time capsule I've seen online ever, seems to have remarkably hokey artefacts in it. Random things which it's hard to judge relevance of with modern eyes.<p>I wonder how many of them yield eg low background radiation sources, air samples insulated from contemporary changes, tree ring data with specific times, previously unseen sources of confirmatory data about other things, extractable DNA, colour swatches preserved from UV light, whisky bottle residue..
