In 1972, during excavations for a new Lloyds Bank branch on Pavement in York, England, archaeologists unearthed a very large fossilized human faeces specimen.
Dating to the Viking Age during the Viking occupation of Jórvík (modern York), the specimen—nicknamed the Lloyds Bank coprolite—measures about 20 cm (around 7–8 inches) long.
Now preserved and displayed at the Jorvik Viking Centre— proof that even the most ordinary human moments can become extraordinary archaeology.
