As long as it doesn't belong to Pandora we should be alright....
Looks nicely made. A useful box for putting things in.
Figures....? ;D
I now expect European Bronze Age armies to feature such boxes in their baggage elements.
This is a remarkable discovery but we should recognise that the headline photograph of the box is a computer reimagination. The actual remains are more fragmentary. Welcome to the future of the past.

They've now scanned the box, and discovered that (perhaps unsurprisingly) it contains a cat.
They're not sure whether the cat is dead or alive yet.
;D
Do they know the cat's name?

Probably not. Any scan powerful enough to read its collar tag would risk serious damage to the kitty.
