Construction workers often discover relics from the past while they work. But while some may find a precious store of Roman coins, others will fall on a bucket of human teeth.
On Tuesday, workers are renovating the historic TB Building The Converse building, located in downtown Valdosta, Georgia, was greeted with a macabre surprise by uncovering about 1,000 teeth from behind a wall on the second floor of the building.
Images of the discovery circulated on social media on Thursday, illustrating a considerable pile of molars, incisors and scattered canines scattered on the ground.
According to a report in Valdosta Daily times, T.B. The Converse building was built in 1900. It was originally occupied by Dr. Clarence Whittington, a dentist. It's not clear why many patients' teeth were hidden behind the walls, but Ellen Hill, director of Valdosta Main Street, said that Valdosta was not the first city in Georgia to have discovered a historic building, like Greensboro and Carrolton have found the same thing.
"I do not know if it was a common practice for dentists at that time, but it's very strange that there were two other people who said," Hey, we got some, too, "did she said.
The Lowndes County Historical Society has expressed interest in obtaining teeth, but the workers have disposed of it shortly after their discovery.
