A Trash Pit

Morristown National Historical Park, New Jersey
· Morristown National Historical Park
Military
Even in times of severest want, there were trash pits for the occasional bone, broken oddments, and the wreckage of a chicken or a beef, a pipe, or a musket. Archeologists removed everything from this one, but it yielded only a meager collection. The army’s supplies had given out, and at times the men ate bark or shoes, if they had shoes, yet there was still a trash pit.
