The Lead Pile
These lead bricks were made from the keel of a ship sunk in the early 1600s, so they would not be contaminated with the products of 20th-century atomic tests. Within that cavity, the current calibrations of Carbon-14 dating for the last two million years were generated by Minze Stuiver and his lab.
