Abstract:		 ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted by Mr Martin Robertson of Scottish Water following the discovery of human bone during excavations to insert a public water fountain at Church Square, St Andrews in Fife (NGR: NO 256558 665130). ARCHAS were required to recover any further buried human bone in advance of the construction, record their presence and ensure the bone was re-buried after works were complete. Archaeological presence and excavation began on Tuesday the 19th of January 2021 and the work was completed over four days with the bone re-interred on the 26th January 2021. Excavation revealed the disarticulated remains of one individual that had been truncated due to the initial work as the entire skeleton was lying in an east-west position across the narrow trench with the lower back and upper legs recorded and recovered across the trench. The bone was recovered and subsequently re-interred. No other archaeological features or artefacts of any date were noted. identified or recovered.
