Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A program of geoarchaeological fieldwork was instigated incorporating: (1) the monitoring and sampling of selected geotechnical site investigations, (2) the retrieval of two targeted geoarchaeological boreholes, and (3) radiocarbon dating of the peat horizon in selected boreholes. The resultant records were combined with those from existing archaeological/geoarchaeological/geotechnical investigations for deposit modelling purposes (35 records in total). The results of the current investigation demonstrate a sequence of River Terrace Gravels (the Lower Lea Gravel), overlain by floodplain deposits of peat, organic-rich and tufa sediments, and inorganic alluvium (silts and clays). The peat, organic-rich and tufa sediments appear to be located towards the western end of the site, and are recorded in the same area beneath adjacent sites. However, these deposits did not accumulate at the same time: at the Fish Island site the peat dated to the early Mesolithic to Middle Neolothic; elsewhere they dated from the early Neolithic to Medieval period, and early to middle Mesolithic respectively.
