Hello,
Last year there was a discussion about the potential health hazards of
flotation of sediments recovered from fairly recent privy contexts. What
was the consensus in the end -- are there any significant concerns, and if
so, what precautions are necessary? In this case, the privy is associated
with an 18th C American structure.
Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers,
Susan
