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 has anyone been able to find historical references to construction of male 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.
