Stunning remnant from Thomas Jefferson's favorite wine, plus Victorian children's scribbles found in dig

"Remarkably, the MOLA team uncovered a seal from one of these prized wine bottles during their excavations," the organization said. 

The excavations took place ahead of SEGRO Park Wapping, an industrial development in the Wapping area of East London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets.

The seal from the bottle of French wine was found along with the floor of a chapel, terrace house foundations, and "wells, soakaways and rubbish pits full of pottery and clay pipes in the gardens."

Archaeologists also found numerous artifacts left behind by Victorian children, including a slate school tablet "covered with children's scribbles and handwriting."

In addition, archaeologists found "alleys" - ceramic marbles designed to resemble alabaster stone - that children once played with.

"They were found inside a covered, brick-lined drain, perhaps lost during a particularly enthusiastic match," the release added.

"Together these help build a picture of the everyday lives of the people who once called this area home," the release added.

Alex Banks, MOLA senior archaeologist, told Fox News Digital that experts are still investigating exactly how old the artifacts are.

"We're currently exploring this as part of our post-excavation work on the site, so we hope to be able to share more soon," he said.

Archaeologists are also investigating what exactly the scribbles say. 

Blanks added that artifacts related to children "are far less frequent [to come across] compared to those relating to adults."

"In reality, it was a very diverse area - just like the East End of London is today."
