Well, while toilet *paper* wasn't used, scraps of cloth, clumps of sheep
wool and other things were.
For more info, see this fairly new file in the PERSONAL CARE section of
my Florilegium:
p-privies-msg (27K) 5/ 4/99 Period privies and toilet paper. bum-wipes.
There is a funny story in there about an individual's prize possesion - a
bumwipe salvaged from an emergency archeological dig.
My Florilegium (full of even more unusual, sometimes amusing) information
