lime pit
Ite extraction site
A lime pit is a pit or vat containing calcium oxide (quickite) mixed with water, used historically for processing hides in tanning or for disposing of corpses.
The causite solution breaks down organic matter—softening animal skins for leather production or accelerating decomposition of bodies.
They found remains in an old lime pit behind the factory.
