Just to add to the toilet humor, just finding an ancient wooden toilet seat probably makes an archeologist pause and think “we’re going to find some good $h!t here”.

Robin Birley (his dad) is a pretty cool old guy. Also an archaeologist. I believe the dig is on family property.
Just one more amazing find from this area. I loved the letters the Birleys found to/from people deployed to the wall.

Reminds me of te most common graffitti found in archaeological digs around Roman toilets. The phrase “Stercus sachidet”. Literally, “shit happens”.
As it is said in the bible, “There is nothing new under the sun”.

I won’t believe it until they find the plastic chain thingy that gets hung up when you flush so that you have to come back five minutes later and jiggle the handle.

So, what exactly are they digging in? I mean, it’s a toilet, right? You gotta really love your job to do that. (Somewhere in there is a pony.)

Are you ready to plop your butt down on this “perfectly preserved” seat, BBC fool?

Must have been all guys using it, because there doesn’t appear to be a lid to leave up or put down ;-)

First time I remember seeing the word "faboulous" used with "latrine."
Now, here is one fabulous latrine:
