(Location cited as NJ 9412 0648 and site-name as St Paul's Street, Farquhar and Gill's). Large-scale excavation by C M Brooks (as a Job Creation Project) over the winter of 1977-8 examined an area formerly occupied by warehouses and revealed undisturbed medieval deposits which were rich in organic debris, and also traces of an early wattle structure. There were also identified: rigs of 12th century date, pits; middens, a bread oven and traces of five houses of the 13th century and a 14th century house. There is extensive documentary evidence for work- and craft-shops on the site since the 16th century.

Of the 141 pieces of flint recovered from the excavation of 42 St Paul Street in the 1970's, a total of 93 appear to be of Mesolithic date, including cores, microburins, a burin spall, scrapers, a wedge and a number of flakes. The finds from the excavation are now in Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum.
