    Be careful with old artist supplies (even crayons). Some of them can have dangerous ingredients. Lead, for example. The kinds of ingredients in some colours are unreal. Arsenic, mercury, chromium, radioactive materials... and then there are the morally objectionable ones, like 'Mummy Brown'- made from real, ground up mummies! Or Indian Yellow - made from the urine of cows only fed mango leaves and water, which slowly killed them. I'm sure there are more, but the point is; be cautious!

    It's so odd to imagine that one day something completely different could be built on top of the spot where your house was, and people don't even know about it. (If it was my place, they'd have the Random Pop Culture Artefacts of the Past dig to end all Random Pop Culture Artefacts of the Past digs.)

    I... have the feeling something similar is under my house (farm built in the 1900's). I mean, the location is too good not to have had previous buildings built there, through the Roman era and Middle Age. Plus, sometimes we can hear some weird muffled sounds of water and rocks falling underground...

    Same here in Augsburg (Augusta Vindelicum). If something gets dug up, not only will it delay your construction work, but you'll also have to pay for the archeologists' work.

    Probably had an awareness of building on top of something, but it wasn't considered important when they built the school. Consideration for what we can learn about history via archaeology is a fairly recent trend.

    Actually, it may be older than the Middle Ages, depending on where in the world it is. In Jerusalem, several homes sit on top of Roman-era artifacts and ruins. Someone dug under their house, and found artifacts from the period that the Romans conquered the city.
