Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Geoarchaeological borehole survey at Merrielands Crescent, Dagenham, Essex recorded: Modern Made Ground; Upper Alluvium (Holocene, estuarine fine grained tidal deposits); Peat (Holocene, wood and reed peat); Lower Alluvium (Holocene, floodplain and channel fill fine grained alluvium); Shepperton Gravels Formation (Pleistocene, river sands and gravels); and London Clay Formation (Eocene, local bedrock). The peat was established by 3347 - 3098 cal BC in the Middle Neolithic, and stopped accumulating by 1494 - 1301 cal BC in the Middle Bronze Age. The peat surface was occupied by alder-dominated fen woodland, the dryland of mixed deciduous woodland dominated by lime and oak. Key changes were: The decline of lime woodland c. 3350 -3100 cal BC consequent of paludification; colonisation and decline of yew from c. 3050 - 2050 cal BC; and apparent decline of floodplain and dryland woodland from shortly before 1500 - 1300 cal BC. Diatoms overlying the peat indicate a marine transgressive contact with the deposition of overlying Upper Alluvium in Middle Bronze Age and estuarine conditions pertained on site.
