| Abstract: |
The report describes the results of three archaeological excavations which took place within the medieval burgh of Dumbarton, two by Eric Talbot between 1971 and 1972 on the High Street and at College Street and the third, on the High Street, by SUAT in 1997. Evidence of medieval activity, including metal working, was found on burgage plots in the High Street. A large pottery assemblage provided an opportunity to investigate medieval trends in a west coast burgh. Glass waste at College Street may have originated from the site of the late-eighteenth- to nineteenth-century Dumbarton Glassworks. Specialist reports include: Pottery from 94--102 High Street; Other artefacts from 94--102 High Street; The animal bone from 94--102 High Street; The industrial soils from 94--102 High Street; Excavations at 101--3 High Street, 1972; Pottery from 75 College Street and 101--3 High Street; Other artefacts from 101--3 High Street and 75 College Street; Animal bone from 101--3 High Street and 75 College Street; Discussion: the artefact and pottery assemblages from Dumbarton. |
