A 200-year-old pair of false teeth that belonged to the Archbishop of Narbonne went on display at the Museum of London Friday. Archaeologists found the teeth in the coffin of the archbishop, Arthur Richard Dillon, while digging at the St. Pancras graveyard, where the Channel Tunnel's new rail terminus will be built.
The dentures, which are made of porcelain and contain gold springs, were still sitting in Dillon's mouth. It is thought he may have purchased them from Nicholas De Chemant, a prominent Parisian dentist.
