Abstract:		 A programme of environmental archaeological assessment was undertaken on borehole WS5, following the recommendations of a geoarchaeological deposit modelling exercise for the site. The Late Devensian Gravel at the site is overlain by a sequence of Holocene alluvial sediments, containing peat, and buried beneath modern Made Ground. The site is likely to lie either within, or on the margins of, a former Late Devensian/Early Holocene channel, within which the Gravel surface lies at between ca. -2 and -5m OD. Between ca. 3 and 5m of Holocene alluvial deposits are recorded in the area surrounding the site. Within the site itself this includes two peat horizons, one at the base of the Lower Alluvium, dated to the Early Neolithic, and one overlying the Lower Alluvium dated to the Middle/Late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. a floodplain environment occupied by alder carr with a ground flora of sedges, grasses and mixed herbs is indicated for much of the period of deposition, whilst the dryland was occupied by mixed deciduous woodland dominated by oak and lime. Towards the top of the Peat and within the Upper Alluvium there is some suggestion of a decrease in woodland cover, which correlates with other sequences from the Lower Thames and beyond. Potential evidence of human activity was limited, but included the presence of a cereal grain in the Lower Alluvium, and high values of microcharcoal in the Lower and Upper Alluvium. No further analysis was recommended.
