Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Morrison Construction Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a proposed re-development within the existing play-ground of Victoria Park Primary School, Edinburgh. Works consisted of an archaeological evaluation of two trenches totalling 26 linear metres. Two crouched inhumations of probable early prehistoric date were revealed. In addition, an overlying buried soil of probable medieval date and modern brick foundations were also recorded. Small finds included skeletal material and associated prehistoric pot sherds. A single body sherd of medieval white gritty ware was recovered from the buried soil. Given that the evaluation revealed the archaeological remains of two inhumations of probable prehistoric date further archaeological investigations will be recommended in order to define the extent of the burials within the limits of the development and to fully excavate the existing examples revealed by the evaluation. Any further investigations will require confirmation by, and be at the discretion of, John Lawson of CECAS. |
