Scientists still do not know whether those two toilets are attached to a house or act as a public toilet.

They hoped that the number would provide ideas for what Danish people at that time ate. They are currently being analyzed by experts.

Waste is found in Odense on Funen Island. This finding is particularly useful for professionals because these bins are used for different purposes before they are converted into toilets.

The marks on the wooden crates include details of the owner and also revealed that one of them was used to transport goods as well as to store fish.

Archaeologists also found three stacked barrels that are thought to have been used as a well.

They are attached to each other and surrounded by clay so as not to water, while they also discovered a pipe system at the bottom of this structure.

The excavation process of this area is still ongoing and is also the largest scale excavation in an urban area in Danish history. Odense is the third largest city of this country.

The oldest toilet was discovered in India and Pakistan, built 2,800 BC.

Ancient people built toilets from bricks. One of them even had wooden seats and troughs for waste to flow into drains and stools.
