Lunch box found in Alps is 4,000-year-old Bronze Age artefact
A 4,000-year-old lunch box found in the Alps is a “special” Bronze Age find says the archaeologist who discovered it.

The remnants of an unknown traveller's food container were found by excavation technician Regula Gubler and archaeologist Kathrin Glauser atop the 2,676-metre (8,780-foot) high Loetschen Pass in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland.

The pair first investigated the site in 2011, when they found parts of an archer's bow.

In the years since they have found more pieces of the bow, bits of leather, stone arrowheads, a jar made of wood that held flour and the wood lunchbox.
