Food fragments discovered in an ancient toilet in Oxford helped scientists confirm that Britain s medieval Jewish community avoided pork and kept kosher . While this has long been thought to be the case, this is the earliest concrete evidence so far of the diet in the UK.   Scientists from the University of Bristol and Oxford Archaeology, excavated the 12th century toilet found in the ancient Oxford Jewish quarter around St Aldates.  During excavations, archaeologists found a stone-built structure, identified as a latrine, and dated to the late 11th and 12th century.  Inside the fragments from the latrine, as well as cooking pots from the attached house, scientists discovered evidence of kosher foods, including domestic fowl and herring, along with an absence of any pig bones.
