Doreen,
 
 I just saw a segment of a tv program a few nights ago on recent?
excavaions by
Julia Costello at a locality in Los Angeles near Union Station that was
found to be
the location of a red-light district.  Julia and her colleagues may have
some information
about material culture of brothels to share with you.
 
If anyone knows whether this work has been published, could you post the
citation
here?
 
Mike
