Desk Based Assessment (22 August 2008)
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken by Headland Archaeology of a proposed development site at Commercial Street, Edinburgh. This assessment has been carried out at the request of The City of Edinburgh Council Archaeologist, John Lawson, in support of
a planning application by Aldi Stores (Bathgate) Ltd. to redevelop land at
Commercial Street as a new supermarket, car park and housing. It will be used to provide background to agree a mitigation strategy for any adverse affects the development may have on the archaeological resource.
