Archaeologists have found an exceptionally well-preserved medieval merchant’s notebook inside a 14th-century latrine in Germany, a discovery that could shed light on everyday life over 800 years ago.
The notebook, made of leather, wood and wax, was discovered in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and is being restored at the German municipal organisation Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) in Münster.
