Archaeologists found the privy associated with the historic house at 48 E. Alameda. Here, one of the archaeologists records the edge of the feature before its excavation begins. Note the bottle poking out of the privy fill. The feature was outlined with white spray paint by archaeologists when it was initially located. When initially located, a feature will show very clearly as a different soil color that distinguishes the feature from the surrounding dirt, but as the days go by this distinction slowly fades.
