Abstract:
This report presents the results of Level 1-2 building recording work and a watching brief carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd between January 2011 and January 2012 at the Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street, Edinburgh (NGR NT 25248 73959). The main elements included a pre-alteration photographic survey, undertaking building recording work in specific areas of the Assembly Rooms before and after down-taking work and carrying out a series of watching briefs. The main area of recording work was undertaken in the Music Hall and concentrated on the stage which was recorded in detail. The floor of the Music Hall was recorded prior to alteration along with the under gallery ceiling and walls fronting the stage. The most significant find was a bi-partite window and main entrance that was part of an earlier late 18th century phase. The watchig brief recorded a series of drains and culverts both within the interior and exterior of the Assembly Rooms. Michael Cressey, CFA Archaeology Ltd 2012.
