Abstract:		 A programme of environmental archaeological assessment of a borehole from the 20 Horn Lane site was undertaken, following the recommendations of previous geoarchaeological fieldwork and deposit modelling. This work was undertaken in order to (1) establish the age of the peat recorded at the site; (2) assess the palaeoenvironmental potential of the sequence; (3) highlight any indications of nearby human activity, and (4) provide recommendations for further analysis. The results of the environmental archaeological assessment have revealed a similar sedimentary sequence to that at other sites on Greenwich Peninsula, and more specifically those overlying comparatively low (<-3m OD) Shepperton Gravel topography. The site is located within a large, broadly east-west aligned depression in the Gravel surface, thought to represent a palaeochannel that would have been a significant component of the prehistoric landscape. The alluvial sequence infilling this channel includes a peat horizon of early/middle Neolithic to middle Bronze Age date; these dates for the peat are consistent with those recorded elsewhere on the Greenwich Peninsula, including at sites located within this channel ca. 1km to the west. The results of the assessment indicate that the preservation and concentration of biological remains (diatoms, waterlogged plant remains and pollen) is limited, unlike at other sites located within this channel; evidence for significant changes in vegetation composition or human activity cannot be defined. On this basis, no further environmental archaeological analysis of the sequence is recommended.
