Big enough for a smoke house. We have one preserved in our area.

The possible privy site was discovered Monday, and diggers were attempting to open it up Tuesday to investigate.

**************

I wonder what this “dig” cost? Who pays for this ridiculous stuff?

This could be a treasure trove. They used toilets to dump all their personal stuff that was broken or not used anymore.

Hopefully someone will demand that the Privacy Act be invoked and thus stopping this invasion of Paul Revere’s Privicy.

I studied archeology and privy diving is really standard. A lot of it was done in Philadelphia. One studies the clean artifacts and tries not to imagine where they came from.

Remember the Big Dig? They found the remains of an outhouse, and it shut down work for some period of time. Can't remember if it was "just" the rest of the day or longer.

And, they found broken stuff - pottery, etc. - at the bottom! Great find at the cost of quite a bit of taxpayers' money.

“If we start finding thousands of artifacts, then we really know we’re in a really important feature,” Bagley said.

Just don't tell us about the corn kernels...ok?

Absolutely. Why dig another hole? Archaeologists love this stuff.

... to find the individuals’ waste themselves, which, we can get seeds from what they were eating, we can find parasites, find out what their health was ...

= = =

Sounds like a good beginning of a SCI FI. Plant those seeds which will take over all farms. Release those parasites for which we have no resistance.

Well maybe Jurassic Park already did that.
