Why Were These Ancient Adults Crammed into Jars and Buried on the Island of Corsica?

Archaeologists say the skeletons are in a "medium state of preservation." In the spring of 2019, researchers from France's National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) found evidence of ancient tombs on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. Now, after resuming excavations at the site, archaeologists have discovered a necropolis containing around 40 burials dating from between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD. As Amanda Morrow reports for Radio France Internationale (RFI), in late February researchers began excavating a pair of 6,458-square-foot sites in the center of Île Rousse, a village on the island's west coast.

History of public latrines in ancient Rome

When archaeologists explored public toilets in ancient Rome, they found that they resembled a modern smoking room. People in need not only went to the toilet to do their business, but also as a place to discuss recent news. The toilet is designed as a long stone bench with many holes at the top and in the front facade. There are no divisions between the places as in modern times, but in order to communicate with each other, here the Romans could freely talk about life right in the toilet. The ancient Romans used sponges tied to the end of a stick and after using them they would dip the sponge into a bucket full of water so that the next person could… reuse it. With this way of defecating, a Roman toilet was not considered a boring, even very bustling place. The walls surrounding the toilet area are also decorated with beautiful statues. However, to go to the toilet in places like this, people have to pay a fee, so poor people almost never go to these toilets. Some toilets even have a special heating system. In the 4th century, during the reign of Diocletian, there were 144 public toilets in Rome. However, the accumulation of large amounts of methane gas makes the toilets dangerous, as they often explode. When going to the toilet, Romans often pray under the statue of Fortuna in the hope that a miracle will help them survive entering the toilet. You may not believe it, but this sensitive topic has caused many scientists to put a lot of effort into research.
