Abstract:		 A programme of geoarchaeological fieldwork and deposit modelling was carried out at the Ufford Street site. The sediments recorded are similar to those recorded elsewhere in the Lower Thames Valley, particularly those overlying the Gravel at the interface between the Shepperton and Kempton Park Gravel Terraces. The Gravel in the area of the site is recorded at between 1.0 and -3.23m OD, although across the majority of the site it lies at between -0.11 and 1.0m OD, and here it is most likely equivalent to the Kempton Park Gravel (the 'Upper Floodplain' terrace). Just to the northeast of the site the surface of the Gravel falls steeply to between -2.3 and -3.23m OD, and to the east it falls to -1,0m OD; here the Gravel is equivalent to the Late Devensian Shepperton Gravel (the 'Lower Floodplain' terrace). Overlying the Kempton Park Gravel across the majority of the site is a sequence of predominantly silty, clayey alluvium, generally present in thicknesses of between 0.5 and 2.0m and with an upper surface lying at between ca. 1 and 2m OD. Just to the northeast of the site and overlying the lower Shepperton Gravel, a much thicker sequence (up to 5m) of Holocene Alluvium is recorded, containing a peat horizon in one borehole at between -0.93 and -2.33m OD (as described by MoLA, 2002). No peat or organic sediments were recorded during the investigations within the area of the present site. On this basis, no further environmental archaeological assessment is recommended on the sequences at the Ufford Street site. With regards to its archaeological potential, the Gravel recorded across the majority of the site is likely to have represented an area of higher, drier ground during the prehistoric period adjacent to the floodplain, and us such would have represented an attractive location for human activity. The potential for archaeological remains is therefore considered to be high.
