The fully sealed blue bottle, marked 'Hull Infirmary', was discovered earlier this year on an excavation project at the former Trinity burial site in Hull. Burials took place on the grounds between 1783 and 1861 and experts are now examining more than 1,500 skeletons for clues about the past, reports Hull Live. "Not only was it apparently specifically placed between the person's legs but it was also sealed and was nearly full of liquid." The team from Oxford Archaeology is expected to spend several years studying all the finding findings from the burial ground.
