went scratching around

I found a privy I have been looking for...an early stone liner. There are three feet of fill in the yard , mostly brick. I found the privy and this comb came out of the old fill behind...outside the stones. It appears to be a hard rubber comb. Any ideas?

I can't tell you much about your site except to say that I've dug a comb like yours from a Civil War site in Northern Vrginia. Keep looking around. It looks like you've got a pretty interesting site.

I agree, it is a lice comb made from hard rubber or gutta percha. Common finds in privies,hope u find some great stuff.
