Oh, no! Not another paleo-Outhouse!!!/sarc.
I used to do archaeological work in the US and Tikal, Guatemala. In the jungle, nobody cares about where you take a dump!
Come to think of it, in San Francisco, nobody cares about where someone takes a dump! My what a coincidence, and you remember what happened to the Mayan civilization. If only ....
Fortunately (?) in the US, they do. I remember looking at a plat for a house construction in Grand Rapids Michigan from about 1900. Carefully located on the plat was the outhouse. I'm sure archeologists would love to have this now. They would know exactly where to look.
There were never any outhouses. All structures were religious or sacrificial structures.
I remember a Readers’ Digest story many years ago about a religious site with skeletal remains in a bed and facing an object across the room. End of the story was it was really a guy in a hotel room watching tv.
Same as today, everyone killed by US troops in the ME is always some head honcho. There’s never any average guy killed.
