Abstract:		 Geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental of two sequences was carried out at the Goresbrook Park site. The Shepperton Gravel at the site is overlain by a tripartite sequence of Lower Alluvium, Peat and Upper Alluvium. The Peat generally ranges between 1 and 2m in thickness, and lies at elevations of between ca. -1 and -5m OD. Peat accumulation began towards the southeast of the site during the Early to Middle Neolithic, and during the Late Neolithic towards the northwest. Peat accumulation continued at the site until the Iron Age, and towards the southeast, the Roman period. The results of the analysis are indicative of a peat surface dominated by alder and willow, with an understorey of grasses, sedges and occasional aquatics, with mixed deciduous woodland on the dryland including oak and lime. Charcoal and microcharchoal were recorded in the sequence between ca. 5000 and 5500 cal BP, and there are indicators of late prehistoric woodland clearance towards the top of the sequence.
