Post-excavation analyses

Abstract

Detailed specialist reports are held in the archive at the RCAHMS. Pottery was mainly Scottish post-medieval oxidised ware and its reduced version. Most of the medieval pottery was Scottish white gritty ware while the most common import was Dutch post-medieval glazed red earthenware. The assemblage of clay tobacco pipes is a substantial addition to the corpus of 17th-century pipes from Edinburgh. Other brief reports include those on animal bone, metal and slag, plant remains, window and vessel glass and a billon penny of Robert III.
