I just received permission to detect a site where there were two 1916 houses. While I was at the site I noticed a very obvious 3-5 foot diameter depression behind where these houses would have stood. While I was there I also noticed random pieces of glass and ceramics. I was curious if privies were still being used around the time of these houses and if it would be worth going the extra step to probe it and possible undertake a digging? If I am correct, this date range sort of falls after the peak time.
I am probably going to go out this week and take some pictures and post them in this thread. Would this help identify if it is or not?
PS: I am a complete newbie when it comes to anything privy-related.
Thanks!
