Question/request for everyone,
Does anyone have information on archaeological research into 19th century sewer systems in urban areas? I have been studying the archaeological remnants of 19th century sewerage disposal in St. John's Newfoundland for the past couple years, and am wondering if anyone has done similar studies in other urban areas. Most of the archaeological research conducted on sanitary issues are privy excavations, cesspits, and the like, which is not what I am looking for, as the published material on those matters is fairly abundant. What I am looking for is examination of the actual "post-privy" (for lack of a better phrase) sewerage disposal system, be they of stone, brick, or whatever.
I am inching closer to a draft for publication, and want to confirm or clarify what I see as a lack of information and data.
Thanks,
Blair Temple
