Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of radiocarbon dating was undertaken, following on from the results of geoarchaeological fieldwork and deposit modelling at the Plot 18.03 site. The results of the deposit modelling indicate that the sediments present beneath Plot 18.03 are similar in character to those recorded elsewhere on Greenwich Peninsula; the Late Devensian Shepperton Gravel is overlain by a sequence of Holocene alluvial sediments, buried beneath modern Made Ground. The site lies on the northeastern edge of a possible Late Devensian/Early Holocene palaeochannel; the resultant topography across the site is highly variable, and towards the northeast, where the Gravel surface lies above -1m OD, there is potential for the survival of archaeological remains. Where the Gravel surface is lower, up to 3.1m of Holocene alluvial deposits are recorded, and here up to 0.5m of peat was recorded in two boreholes. These organic sediments are thin, and only locally present; in addition, radiocarbon dating of the base of the peat in indicates that accumulation began here during the early Bronze Age, within the general age range of the peat recorded elsewhere on Greenwich Peninsula (late Mesolithic to late Bronze Age), and of similar age to environmental archaeological investigations that have already been undertaken elsewhere on Greenwich Peninsula. On this basis, no further environmental archaeological assessment is recommended on the samples from Plot 18.03.
