Keeping people from (while recklessly getting into) the stuff is a major premise of Galaxy Angel, which is called Lost Technology in the series. The strongest members of his guild, the Seven Kin of Purgatory, are armed with Lost Magic and are extremely powerful. 
In Fairy Tail, "Lost Magic" is, according to Master Hades the former master of Fairy Tail of Grimoire Heart, the magic closest to the source of all magic in their world which he believes is connected to Black Mage Zeref. 
Kabapu is allegedly trying to destroy the last of it to prevent a disaster.
In Excel Saga, Il Palazzo and Kabapu have access to technology from the lost civilization of Solaria. The Demon God Androids, the Eye of God "Death Star", the Trigger of Destruction battleship, etc. Since then, it had its degeneracy reactor destroyed and the hull hollowed out to create a space habitat instead of being scuttled and dismantled for the simple reason that the outer armor is made of a material not even antimatter pair-annihilation could damage. In the episode where it appears, the characters mention that it used to be a space battleship - and indeed, closer examination by a viewer who had seen Gunbuster will reveal that it's actually the Eltreum, the 70 km white flagship that led humanity's final assault on the galactic core at the end of Gunbuster. The giant space habitat where Jupiter is supposed to be. Warp technology was purposefully suppressed after humanity gave up trying to explore the galaxy thousands of years ago, to the point that nobody even knows the first principles behind it. Unusually, it did not destroy them they voluntarily threw it away because it was alienating them from the earth. The technology of Laputa in Castle in the Sky. Besides being this trope it is also faster and stronger than anything made from quartz. In Broken Blade, the hero Rygart's mecha or err Golem is not made of quartz like everyone else's, oh no, his is an unholy fusion of cheap metal, oil and he is apparently the only one who can use it - vice-versa goes for the quartz golems. 
For a more obvious example, Killy's weapon is revealed to be an ancient and legendary piece of technology that nobody has been able to replicate.
The City in Blame is so immeasurably vast that "lost" technology is positively ubiquitous, which isn't surprising, considering that the mega structure was built over the span of thousands of years and encompasses most of the solar system. Due to citywide amnesia, the megadeuses from The Big O are Lost Technology despite being little more than 40-years-old.
