Star Trek: The Animated Series - Captured - CBS

SPOCK [OC]: Stasis boxes and their contents are the only remnant of a species which ruled most of this galaxy a billion years ago. Their effect on science has been incalculable. In one was found a flying belt which was the key to the artificial gravity field used by starships. Another box contained a disrupter bomb with the pin pulled. As a result, all stasis boxes are now under the jurisdiction of Starfleet, and only certain key specialists handle them. The boxes are rare, potentially dangerous, and we seem to have found a second one.

[Planet surface]

(Spock, Sulu and Uhura are wearing life-support belts. Spock carries the box)
UHURA: I never did like these little ice-bound worlds.
SPOCK: We are not tourists here, Lieutenant.
SULU: Mister Spock, if it takes a stasis box to find another stasis box, how did anyone ever find the first one?
SPOCK: As with a number of discoveries, purely by accident, Lieutenant. The other box seems to be almost under us, perhaps thirty metres below the ice.
SULU: We won't have any trouble digging for it. In this low pressure, the ice should boil as soon as the phasers melt it.
(But they are not alone. Sulu gets shot, then Uhura, then Spock)

Is there a non-TAS explanation for how "artificial gravity" was invented? Or are the boxes also part of the "lore" of TNG to ENT?
