Abstract
This paper seeks to investigate aspects of the form, manufacture, and possible provenance of drug jars from excavations carried out at Edinburgh Castle, and set them in their wider context by studying comparable jars from other sites across Edinburgh's Old Town, both physically and scientifically, using Plasma spectrometry (ICP). They are also considered against wider patterns of distribution across Edinburgh and Leith, with reference to possible Scottish production sites and other notable archaeological assemblages in Scotland.
