So - I've always been curious - with all the privy dippin' that was going on in the old days, what'd they do with the night soil? Wherever they put it must be absolutely loaded with bottles.
I've been told it was used for fill and whatnot. If that's so, shouldn't urban reclamation projects, etc., bring it back to light every so often?
Has anyone ever dug, or known someone who's dug, what was probably old dumped night soil?
P.S. Only on a forum like this could one see such a topic discussed seriously!
