OOPART (Out Of Place Artifact)

An OOPART is any object found in a place or context where it is supposed to be impossible.

An example could be a flyable airplane model buried together with thousands year old human remains.

One OOPART was a 1,800 year old electric cell that was discovered near Baghdad, Iraq in 1936.
