## Resource

Archaeologists in Fife, Scotland, uncovered a hidden wartime time capsule—concrete anti-tank blocks from WWII etched with names, cartoons, and tool marks left by soldiers when the cement was still wet. Found using high-tech sensors and volunteer help, these blocks reveal the human side of war: playful initials like AMPC, a cartoon soldier possibly resembling Franco, and even the phrase “no passaran.” Part of a 25-year coastal heritage project by Scape, the discovery highlights how climate change is exposing layers of history, turning Scotland’s eroding shores into a living archive of wartime life.
