Moss used as toilet paper, Whithorn
The waterlogged areas of the excavation at Whithorn uncovered
preserved 'sheets' of moss, which had been discarded. Closer
analysis revealed them to be studded with fragments of hazel nut
shells, and blackberry pips. In keeping with similar finds
from York, these may represent 'sheets' used to clean up after a
visit to a latrine pit.
