I'm not sure that colonial era sites and the like would smell as bad as
Bill anticipates. After helping excavate a couple of privy's from New
Brunswick, NJ, one partial one of this time and another notably later, we
found MUCH clam shell. The shell would have acted as an absorbent and, in
theory, may have kept the stench down. Still potent by our standards, I'm
not convinced the sites would have wreaked as indicated.
