Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigative works was required by Fife Council in respect of the proposed extension of the existing Dunfermline Library building to create a new Museum and Art Gallery within the extent of the existing car park. The archaeological investigative works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within the proposed development area. The archaeological excavations were carried out from the 19th August 2013 to the 15th October 2013 with a small extension carried out from 25th to the 27th March 2014. The development site provided a rare opportunity to develop and undertake a project which could explore change, loss and heritage within the historic burgh. The archaeological aspect of this multi-disciplinary approach was to deliver a sound base of information about the site and its changing roles across the centuries. The information gathered would then act as support and grounding for subsequent learning and creative activities linked both to the site and more broadly within the burgh. The principle community objective of the project was to promote and enable public participation in archaeology. For those most actively involved this took the form of direct volunteering in field teams undertaking excavation and supported by both formal and informal training. The communication and learning aspects of the project aimed at promoting a wider interest in the project and build on previous initiatives to stimulate interest in the heritage of Dunfermline. |
