Abstract:		 Geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental investigations have revealed a sequence of London Clay, overlain by Pleistocene Gravel, Holocene alluvium (in places including peat), ground-raising/levelling deposits and modern Made Ground. The Gravel is overlain at the site by variable thicknesses of Holocene alluvium, recorded to levels between ca. 1.75 and -0.80m OD. The alluvium is predominantly fine-grained and mineral-rich; however, a peat unit dated to the Saxon period was recorded between 0.2 and -0.35m OD. Above this, the ground-raising/levelling deposits incorporate alluvial sediments from the underlying unit, including organic matter, and contain anthropogenic material of Saxon date onwards (including charcoal, bone, worked wood and shell). The sediments appear to represent natural foreshore deposits associated with the floodplain of the River Thames, overlain by alluvium and a series of ground-raising/levelling deposits. They are very similar in character to those recorded at Adelphi House and 18-20 York Buildings. The biological remains in both the naturally accumulated and reworked/redeposits organic deposits are very similar. A generally open, damp and disturbed environment is indicated, with a range of herbaceous taxa recorded potentially representing their growth in a number of open habitats, including wetlands, meadow, pasture, disturbed/waste ground with crops and their associated weeds.
