Susan: As Los Adaes is heavily influenced by French culture there may be something pertinent there.
French short hand for a toilet is lieu same as lugar. For what it's worth. French - Creoles had porte-
chambres (chamber pots) kept inside and dumped outside in the woods/streams/ some place down wind.
Insects and other critters re-cycle waste fast in these climes. We have no evidence of privies at Los Adaes as yet. Thanks for asking the answers have been fun to read. Pete Gregory

Susan:
I have descriptions from 18th c. mission inventories that refer to latrines as "lugares privativos" and "lugares de necesario privativo," approximately -- I'm not sure I'm remembering the Spanish exactly. In general, "lugares" would probably be a short-hand reference to a privy.
