On a recent program about the colonias of Texas the reporter showed that they were bathing and defecating in the same shed. While this mirrors the relationship in the modern bathroom with running water, in a sanitary without running water the practice seems pretty nasty. I know from tales of my forefathers who had outhouses, that they did not bathe near the outhouses. Any of you historical archaeologists privy (I had to use this pun) to any knowledge about how common it was to house bathing and defecating in the same out-building?
