>Where are all the bath tubs found in excavations? At least here in Easter Europe we were still using wood "bath tubes" until recent times. Wood stuff does not preserve. Also there was no room for "bath", this bath-tubes are portable, so you get the out when you need them then store them away. Sorry for the bad quality of img, this are traditional fromRomania https://adroa.top/ant/?header=Covat%C4%83+de+lemn+foarte+veche https://adroa.top/ant/?header=Covat%C4%83+de+lemn+foarte+vec.... https://frankfurt.apollo.olxcdn.com/v1/files/13e2dt7g3zx82-RO/image;s=644x461 https://frankfurt.apollo.olxcdn.com/v1/files/13e2dt7g3zx82-R...

Wood stuff does not preserve? Other furniture does. And even then, they need iron bands to hold them together. Also, rain barrels.

  This wood tubes do not use metal or nails, are made from just one piece of wood. When I was a child we had a big ree, one day my grandffather brought a family of wood workers , they cut the tree and madfe a ton of wood stuff from it, including big and small "tubes" , the small ones are used for backing or as containers, big and small spoons, other wood stuff I don't remember. But it was all curved, no nails or glue. This is possible because this tree is very soft and easy to work with, so you will not find 2000 years old wood tools in an ancient city or village ruins but you will find them in a few hundred years old homes in museums. I was attempting to show that you should not demand archaeologists to find you bathrooms so you are convinced people were bathing. Peasant homes do not have a room dedicated for bath, and the bath tubes are wooden tools not stone or metal so you could find them if you know how to google but I can't tell you the english name for this.

    I appreciate you explaining this. I'm not an expert on the history of baths. I may be wrong but I still think the tubes you're describing are the exception and not the rule.

      So you think there were better quality ones and bathrooms or that the peasants just washed in the river or with snow?

        I meant baths were not constructed the same way all over the world. You described a specific soft kind of wood and a particular construction method.
