Abstract:
The results of deposit modelling and environmental archaeological assessment of two boreholes have enhanced the previous investigations and improved our understanding of this area of Greenwich Peninsula. The Late Devensian Shepperton Gravel forms the platform upon which Holocene sediments, containing a complex sequence of Alluvium and Peat, have accumulated. At least three distinct episodes of Peat formation are recorded across the site, the accumulation of which began during the Late Mesolithic, Early Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age in QBH1. Peat horizons recorded in boreholes QBH2 and QBH3 may or may not be contemporaneous with these horizons, but are likely to have accumulated during the widespread period of accumulation recorded elsewhere across the Lower Thames Valley, between ca. 6500-3000 cal BP (equivalent to Devoy's (1979) Tilbury III Peat). On the basis of the nearby investigations at the Cable Car South Station (Batchelor et al., 2012) and the relatively thin and discontinuous nature of the Peat at the GPCE site, no further environmental archaeological analysis is recommended. However, it is recommended that the results of the investigations presented here should be integrated in to a publication incorporating the body of data that has now been generated for this area of the Greenwich Peninsula.
