High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Privy digging is the process of locating and investigating the contents of defunct outhouse vaults in the pursuit of old bottles and artifacts. Privy digging is a form of historical digging. In some locations, most notably New York City, due to their appearance and considerable depth vaults are sometimes referred to as wells. In these instances well digging is synonymous with privy digging. Privies are also called pits, holes, chambers, etc. Privy digging is usually done on private residential properties but there are exceptions depending on the specific location and the circumstances involved. Historical contractors, privy diggers who enter into contracts enabling them to investigate vaults, are also engaging in privy digging. There are controversies regarding who should be permitted to excavate privies and sometimes potent disagreements pertaining to the importance of what is actually being found in most of them.
