Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The aim of the deposit modelling exercise at the 46 Ponton Road site was to (1) clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy, in particular the presence and thickness of Alluvium (including Peat) across the site, and (2) to evaluate the potential of the sedimentary sequences for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. A programme of deposit modelling of the surface elevation and thickness of the major stratigraphic units at the site was carried out. The results of the investigations indicated that much of the 46 Ponton Road site lies in an area of low-lying Shepperton Gravel topography, recorded at between -1.47 and -0.43m OD towards the centre and northwest of the site. This area of the site is thus considered part of or subsidiary to the Battersea Channel, separated from the low-lying topography (ca. -0.5 to -3.0m OD) at the Wandsworth Road and Pascal Street site (Young et al., 2013) by the Gravel high identified at 40-42 Ponton Road (ca. 1.2 and 1.7m OD). This wider model suggests that the Gravel high in the area of 40-42 Ponton Road is separated from the larger area of Kempton Park Gravel identified to the south. Despite the low-lying nature of the Gravel across much of the 46 Ponton Road site, no organic horizons or Peat were recorded within the overlying Alluvium, which here consisted of predominantly silty or sandy clay with occasional gravel clasts and was present in thicknesses of between 0.5 and 1.5m. The surface of the Alluvium lies at between 0.03 and 1.07m OD across the site, the overlying Made Ground having truncated much of the Alluvium in some areas of the site. In the absence of any Peat or organic horizons at the 46 Ponton Road site, no further geoarchaeological or environmental archaeological investigations are recommended.
