Great Sh*t Found in 18th -Century Philadelphia Toilets
Not all of it is literal.
A new building is being constructed in Philadelphia, and archaeologists are taking a look at the dig site, which apparently used to be a revolutionary-era toilet. They expected to find some artifacts, but instead it’s in the neighborhood of eighty thousand different pieces, all in remarkably good condition.
Seriously, take a look at this punchbowl, or these bottles, or this room full of recovered plates here.
Here’s the IO9 article, and the LiveScience article.
