Belgian Coastal Town Uncovers 450 Medieval Cannonballs in One Cache
Archaeologists in Nieuwpoort, Belgium, uncovered about 450 medieval cannonballs dating 1350–1600 AD at a construction site ahead of an administrative building; the unusually large, uniform cache suggests deliberate use as projectile weapons, and researchers plan up to two years of analysis before a final report and a potential display decision by the city.
