Archeologist Val Kirstine checks out an item he excavated while working on a dig in an area that was the women's privy at the site of the first courthouse in Ventura, Calif. An archaeological team has been on site since late May, after demolition crews razed a former school district bus barn and offices on 3.5 acres at East Santa Clara and Junipero streets to make way for a condominium and parking garage project.

Archeology is a lot more exciting in Clive Cussler novels than it is in real life.

CA: 130-year-old outhouses yield treasures They uncovered a pistol, a knife, whisky flasks, a set of false teeth, two dog skulls and a blade from a set of sheep shears.
People sure ate hearty back then.

A guy is walking toward an outhouse when he sees another guy reaching down into the outhouse with a stick.
First man: "What in the world are you doing?"
Second man: "I had to use the outhouse, but dropped my coat down the hole and now, I'm trying to retrieve it."
First man: "Why would you even WANT that coat anymore?"
Second man: "Oh, I don't want the coat. I know that it's ruined."
First man: "Then why the hell are you trying to retrieve it?"
Second man: "Well, I have a sandwich in one of the pockets and don't want to go without lunch."
