I found this in the Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf" of 20 nov. 2003:<br>
<br>
A Roman sarcophacus has been found in Bocholtz, province limburg - NL.<br>
The sarcophacus is probably 1800 years old, is made from stone and will be transported to the Thermenmuseum in Heerlen. There the sarcophacus will be researched further. So far, Roman glas, bronze dishes and vases, a complete chair for children, a bronze strigilis, iron nails, a complete bathing-oil flask in the shape of a manly figure with a fox over his shoulder has been found. All objects seen to be in an excellent shape.<br>
<br>
The sarcophacus was found on the land of a farmer.<br>
<br>
The person in the sarcophacus was probably the owner of the Roman villa Vlengendaal, found a small distance away.<br>
