I'm working on a ca. 1870 courthouse. It has two privies which have
contemporary artifacts. The larger privy is 8 x 8 feet and the smaller is 4 x 8 feet.
They are separated by 8 feet. I have two questions for the list:
1. has anyone been able to find historical references to construction of male
AND female privies for a public institution?
2. Has anyone excavated male and female privies in a institutional framework?
Or in any other context?
The artifacts we recovered were lost in use and not as a result of a "filling
in process." I will remain silent on the artifact list until I see some more
references.
Any comments would be appreciated.
