20 Waste pit
The most important source of past epochs is the waste of our ancestors - the archaeological material found is predominantly composed of objects that ended up in the ground in the course of waste disposal. The finds from medieval and modern waste pits include broken glass and ceramic vessels as well as the remains of human food, such as animal bones and shells.

Clay Whistles
Age: 1500 - 1800 n. Chr. Modern period
Modern period: The modern era began around 1500 with the Reformation and the discovery of America. Characteristic of this era are the enormous changes in society, not only in Europe, which were triggered by events such as the French Revolution, wars, and, last but not least, industrialisation. New technologies made it possible to produce mass goods, and industrial production shifted to cities, which grew into large towns. The invention of new, faster means of transport shortened travel times. Goods, fashions and ideas could now be exchanged much more quickly and widely than before. The end of the First World War in 1918 marked the beginning of modernity, the main feature of which was the ever faster development of progress.
