    I assume the norse one is basically an outhouse, but how did the Greek one worked? it looks to solidly built to be a functional outhouse (you have)

      Waste drops in. Someone up the plumbing system diverts water through the piping, likely at set times, and washes it down the piping system, likely to a river or a cesspit. Like a primitive version of a flush system!

          Hah, as I said to another commenter - all things are relative. A u-bend-piped user-operated per-use system with sitting water is a bit more advanced. XD
