Abstract:
This chapter describes the main archaeological features encountered during the excavation, and the artefactual and environmental evidence where appropriate. The results are prefaced by a summary of the main archaeological findings. At the end of the chapter is a brief discussion od how the archaeological results shed light on the main research questions posed at the beginning of the project. The results are organised chronologically beginning with early features, mainly represented by a small residual lithic assemblage. Subsequent sections are organised as follows: period 1 - 12th-14th-century ditch; period 2 - 14th-15th century burgage plots (medieval accumulation, boundaries and backlands, a possible vennel); period 3 - 16th-17th-century tenements and gardens (possible tanning pit); period 4 - 17th-18th-century townhouses and formal gardens (Haddington House, Balmakellie and Queensberry House, Canongate frontage, Lothian Hut), period 5 - 19th-century military barracks and modern features (Haddington House. Quartermaster's store and military features, tenement and Queensberry House). A separate section considers the artefactual evidence for each of the periods identified and there is a brief account of the environmental evidence.
