Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation at the former Napier University buildings, Craighouse Edinburgh. The archaeological work was undertaken over 26 days, between the 12th May and the 17th June 2016, and comprised an initial topsoil strip (CES-C) within an area immediately to the west and northwest of Old Craig. The area measured approximately 844m2. Following the positive identification of archaeological remains during the topsoil strip, a full excavation was initiated in order to fully investigate and record those remains (CES-D). The earliest identified activity comprised the limited remains of potentially two separate structures. Limited artefactual evidence suggested that these structures dated to the late medieval/early post-medieval period. These remains were replaced by a substantial east to west aligned structure. Although only the western end of the structure survived, it was clear that the building would have had a north facing entrance and a substantial internal slabbed floor. No dating evidence associated with this building was recovered during the investigation, although map evidence indicates that the structure post-dated 1682. |
