Pits and Boots: Excavation of Medieval and Post-medieval Backlands under the Bon Accord Centre, Aberdeen
«
‘…the monograph provides a clear, well-researched and well-presented account of excavations undertaken in Aberdeen in 2007–8; it examines medieval backland industry followed by later, more affluent domestic occupants; it explores the burgh’s wider trade connections in Britain and beyond; it synthesises a wealth of remarkable organic material; it discusses extraordinary finds such as a late 12th- or early 13th-century stone-and-wooden composite grinding lathe; and it does all this with good photographs and figures throughout, using clear print on quality paper.’ – Brian Ayers (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 65/2, 2021

Excavations in 2007-8, ahead of an extension to the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen, uncovered backlands that would have formed part of the industrial quarter of the medieval town. The excavation charts the changing nature of the area, from an industrial zone in the medieval period, to horticultural and domestic spaces in post-medieval times. Les mer
