Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works comprising an evaluation was undertaken in advance of a proposed development at 138 Elliot Street, Glasgow. The western part of the site had previously been evaluated and shown to contain structural remains relating to the Verreville Pottery. The eastern part lay outside the mapped extent of the pottery in the 19th century. To test the archaeological potential of the eastern part of the site six test pits were excavated. The results confirmed the presence of modern overburden up to 3m thick. A lens of material containing ceramics and kiln furniture was identified 2.3m below the modern ground surface in one test pit. The pottery formed part of a more general accumulation of dumped 19th material and did not form part of a well stratified or substantial area of dumping. The 19th century deposits lay directly over the naturally deposited sands and alluvial gravels. |
