The resurfacing of the artifacts in this case was significant, in that more accurate identifications of some of the items could be made.  For instance, this medal was identified as depicting St. Camillus of Lellis, the patron of physicians and nurses.  Camillus, a Capuchin, wasn't canonized until 1746, so this gives us another hint as to the date of the burial.
