Dig It! Privy Artifacts A-Z

Postmark Naperville

A unique A-Z look at daily life from "down under" through the excavation of long-abandoned outhouse holes. Many of these unearthed artifacts are more than 100 years old and valued by collectors and historical societies around the country. Open the book anywhere and find photos of hundreds of privy-dug examples of long ago lifestyles. Name almost any object and it's certain to have been discarded underground. It has probably been dug from old outhouses and it's probably featured in Dig It!.
