Abstract | Sanitation technology got a little lost in the West after the fall of Rome. In Europe during the Middle Ages, they did make use of a garderobe in castles – a protruding room with a tiny opening usually reserved for nobility, from which waste fells into the castle moat. Later this was replaced by a box and a lid. [authors abstract] |
