Abstract:		 Border Archaeology's excavations on the site of the former Portcullis Furniture showroom at No 29 Corve Street revealed evidence of medieval butchery, tanning and leatherworking activity together with domestic waste in the form of charred grain, animal bone and fragmentary pottery vessels. The later history of the site was represented by industrial waste and structural remains associated with 19th century ironworking. The investigations revealed a considerable amount of animal bone probably deriving from these industries, some of which was found in a large pit of 13th-14th century date. The majority, however, was from Phases 4, 5 and 6, representing roughly the 16th-19th centuries. This material consisted of a number of cattle and sheep/goat foot bones, which, given the presence on some of the bones of vertical knife marks, probably represents waste from carcass skinning and hide preparation. Small numbers of cattle and goat horn cores were also present, possibly indicating refuse from horn working. Such accumulations of specialist refuse are frequently encountered in medieval and later urban deposits. The later use of the site was represented by a deposit of industrial waste associated with 19th century structural remains that were first identified during an evaluation carried out in 2002 by Border Archaeology, implying ironworking activity. In summary, the site appears to have been associated with 'marginal' industrial activities from an early date, which may have continued well into the 18th and 19th centuries, including the skinning of carcasses and the preparation of hides and, during the 19th century, ironworking.
