3/4 Philly Dig

[rpinkham]

Good digging weather in Philly to dig an enormous hole. This pit was eight feet across and 14 feet deep. More to follow later. Just starting the thread.

Why was it only a three quarters dig? [][8D]

Must have been a 3 seated crapper?

View from the back of these houses that seemed to share this privy. Late 17's or early 18's.

Back yard starts to get smaller. Half of the hole is on the other side of the fence.

Some pottery from day one. This dig was a little tricky for a variety of reasons.
