There are laws *requiring* sites be monitored and dealt with in this way. As you know, not everyone follows the law. Often, someone has to file a lawsuit to get developers or cities to even CONSIDER following the laws. <br /><br />Major: This is why archaeologists use fancy technical terms. For instance, it's not a trash heap, it's a "midden." Doesn't that sound much better? Nobody wants to pick through the trash, but "studying a midden" sounds scholarly. I'm sure there's a good technical word for "poo hole" too, but "privy feature" is the best I can come up with at the moment.Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-29411811458173373522011-09-30T18:11:38.399-07:002011-09-30T18:11:38.399-07:00What a surprise to come and see this post Chris.

O.C. has a great deal of history (and pre-history) under all of the asphalt & concrete.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849125942236758633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-74183011467061382892011-09-30T15:30:38.085-07:002011-09-30T15:30:38.085-07:00Nice shots of the dig.

It'd be cool if more construction sites today took the time to allow for archeologists to come in and have a look first.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-31242461028341816712011-09-29T09:11:10.641-07:002011-09-29T09:11:10.641-07:00It might be 150 years later, but I still don't...It might be 150 years later, but I still don't think I want to dig in a former privy hole!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-31178745664321778622011-09-27T21:46:09.385-07:002011-09-27T21:46:09.385-07:00WOW!!WOW!!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.com
