Abstract:		 Between August 2009 and November 2010, representatives of Aberdeen City Council Museums and Galleries undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with The Green Townscape Heritage Initiative, centred. The area is rich in archaeological potential, due to the historical nature of the area, which once formed a medieval religious hub for Aberdeen, a potential which has since been proven by archaeological discoveries in the area since the 1970s. The watching brief monitored all excavation undertaken across ten streets within the Green area. It encountered a total of 26 features during the resurfacing works in The Green area. Despite the fact that the area formed one of the four medieval quarters of Aberdeen, no features relating to this period or earlier were recovered. The majority of the areas investigated showed high levels of disturbance by services and cables relating to the area's dense habitation throughout the Victorian and Modern periods. The earliest features encountered were those found on Rennie's Wynd and on Exchange Street and it is intriguing that it is these two streets whose alignment has changed most since 1867. The majority of other finds probably date to the mid and late 19th century and are good indicators of Victorian habitation of the area.
