drew the phase plans for 13-19 Roxburgh Street, Chalkheugh Terrace, Wester Kelso/Floors Castle and Bridgegate, based on illustrations by Rupert Kavanagh. The artefact illustrations are by Frank Moran (Kelso and Bridgegate) and David Munro (Cuddyside). Pottery illustrations are by Eric Cadow (Kelso), David Munro (Bridgegate) and Frank Moran (Cuddyside). Adrian Cox would like to thank Mandy Clydesdale and Debbie Forkes for selective conservation of Bridgegate and Kelso artefacts. Derek Hall would like to thank George Haggarty for his help in reassessing the pottery assemblages from the Kelso excavations and for his invaluable comments on the Post Medieval and Industrial pottery groups. The Cuddyside, Peebles excavations were funded by Eildon Housing Association, Borders Regional Council and Historic Scotland. James Mackenzie would like to thank the excavation team of Charlie Falconer, Niall Robertson, Carrie Sermon and Derek Shepherd for working so assiduously through the frequent downpours typical of February winter weather; and Dr Piers Dixon for his comments on the findings of the excavations, and John Dent, then Regional Archaeologist for Borders Regional Council, now Scottish Borders Council, for assistance in organising the excavations. Adrian Cox would like to thank Paul Harrison for undertaking selective conservation and producing X-ray images of the iron objects from Cuddyside. The illustrations for Cuddyside are by David Munro. Preparation of this report, including completion of some aspects of post-excavation analysis on the MSC-funded projects, was managed by Olwyn Owen and funded by Historic Scotland.
