A Brothel Reveals Its Secrets

Описание к видео A Brothel Reveals Its Secrets

Boston's infamous Big Dig construction project, which rerouted the city's central artery, unearthed a trove of archaeological treasures in a 19th-century brothel's outhouse. Buried there were items of importance to the women who made their living outside the margins of polite society: hairbrushes, medicines, and vaginal syringes used for self-medicating and cleaning.

Now, a team of archaeology students from BU is studying these artifacts to find out what they reveal about how the residents of one Boston brothel lived.
