Cameron, A. and Stones, J., eds. (2001). Aberdeen: an in-depth view of the city's past. Excavations at seven major sites within the medieval burgh. Edinburgh: Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.

This chapter presents a brief summary of excavation methodology and detailed archaeological descriptions of each of the seven sites in turn along with interpretation of the results and reference to archaeological work in the vicinity. The sites are Castle Street (13th- 15th-century buildings adjacent to the medieval market), 16-18 Netherkirkgate (13th- 20th-century buildings and rich organic deposits), St Nicholas Triangle (a site adjacent to St Nicholas parish church), 43-57 Upperkirkgate (early medieval backland occupation near the site of the upper mill), 30-46 Upperkirkgate (medieval backland activities from the 12th century), Gallowgate Middle School (12th-century and later leatherworking), and 45-75 Gallowgate (medieval and post-medieval occupation beside the town loch). Each site has a table which links phases to historical information.

Pottery is one of the most prolific finds recovered in the medieval burgh. It includes a substantial proportion which was made here, but also some which was imported from other parts of Scotland, England, France, Germany, the Low Countries, Spain and elsewhere. The actual location of the local industry is still unknown. The material is catalogued by site and phase.

This chapter presents specialist reports on mammal bone, fish and bird bones, plants, intestinal parasites and insects, and residues from a ceramic vessel and stone mortar
