Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of geoarchaeological fieldwork, deposit modelling and radiocarbon dating was carried out at the Mandela Way site in order to clarify the nature, depth, extent and date of the peat deposit recorded within two records towards the north of the site. The surface of the Gravel at the site is recorded at between -0.96 and 0.01m, with the highest Gravel surfaces recorded towards the centre, from where it falls slightly to the north, east and south. The Gravel is overlain in most places by a relatively thin layer of alluvial deposits, between ca. 0.5 and 1.0m in thickness, which in two records towards the north of the site includes a thin layer of peat, recorded between 0.01 and 0.17m OD in MWQBH1, and between 0.02 and 0.12m OD in MWTP5. Although it has the potential to provide information on the environmental history of the site and its environs, the peat horizon recorded at the Mandela Way is thin (<0.16m), and only locally present. A limited programme of radiocarbon dating of the peat in borehole MWQBH1 was therefore carried out, and it was found to be consistent in age (Late Bronze Age; 2795-2995 cal BP) with other peat horizons recorded in this area of Southwark. No further environmental archaeological assessment was therefore recommended. The elevation of the Gravel recorded at the site indicates that the site does appear to contain the potential for archaeological evidence or remains to be present; however, it is of note that the Gravel surface is not as high as that at the B and Q Depot, Old Kent Road (Bird et al., 1991; Sidell et al., 2002) or Marlborough Grove (MAG93), where flint scatters and hearth deposits were recorded on weathered sand deposits overlying the Kempton Park Gravel at between ca. 0.8 and 1.2m OD.
