In this volume, all the excavations from 1973-1978 are published in full and all the major sites excavated from 1978-81 in summary form (Ill 1) . Short accounts of all site observations up to December 1981 are also included. Each excavation has been written up individually by its director, with the post -excavation work co-ordinated by the Archaeological Unit. The picture of medieval Aberdeen that emerges from the documentary evidence is one of a properous and sizable burgh, supported by its development by royal approval and maintained in its growth by the supply of commercial products from its environs. The evidence derived from the archaeologcial excavations detailed below adds a further dimension to this view of the burgh, revealing new aspects of the domestic life of the inhabitants, the layout of their town, the objects they made and traded and even the food they ate.
