Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Boskalis Westminster Limited, to undertake a Stage 1 geoarchaeological review of a series of geotechnical logs recovered from Portsmouth Harbour as part of investigations related to development to be undertaken to accommodate Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers at HMNB Portsmouth. The identified deposits have been split into three broad time units, which have again been sub-divided into a number of different sub-units. The study area has also been divided into four separate areas based on similar geology and current environment. The generalised stratigraphy of the study area records a Pleistocene terrestrial environment dominated by braided river systems which was eventually submerged during the Holocene transgression. However, the specific division of sub-units beyond this is tentative and should be treated with caution, as there are a number of uncertainties within the interpretation. It is recommended that the samples be made available to Wessex Archaeology to take away for recording and assessment once necessary testing and analysis has been completed by all relevant parties associated with the wider project. The results of the Stage 2 recording will be interpreted and entered into a Rockworks database in order to create a deposit model.
