Join CBA Yorkshire in their Fireside Chats Series.
While studying the deep organic sediments of Viking Age and Roman York, Andrew Jones and colleagues at the Environmental Archaeology Unit, University of York, came to realise that human excrement was a major component of urban archaeological deposits. This talk outlines the research that was undertaken to better understand the anoxic deposits of York and to convince York Archaeological Trust to feature latrines and excrement in the Jorvik Viking Centre.
This pioneering work has since been more widely applied to sites across Europe and the Mediterranean including Pompeii.
