The relocation of an ice cream parlor in the Polish port town of Gdańsk marked the end of an era.
Miś had operated in the same location since 1962, but a few years ago, the ice cream parlor’s owners decided to relocate across the city.
Knowing this, experts saw a rare chance to investigate if any history had been hiding underneath all that ice cream.
Archeologists had to remove the cracked limestone slab in sections.
