Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	NPPF emergency funded desk-based and excavation work at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire. In 2017 mammoth remains and two flint handaxes were recovered from a working quarry. DigVentures were commissioned by Historic England to undertake a project evaluating the potential for in situ archaeology at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick Gloucestershire, with funding allocated under the terms of NPPF Emergency Assistance. The project has completed an assessment of previously collected materials recovered from the site (Russ et al. 2019; Stage 2a Review Point 3), a programme of fieldwalking and investigation of the lithostratigraphic sequence through geoarchaeological boreholes (Hogue et al. 2019, Stage 2b Review Point 4; and in Hogue et al. 2020 Appendix 1 and Appendix 2), and targeted field investigations (Stage 3 Review Point 5), including stratigraphic assessment; multiproxy palaeoenvironmental assessment of pollen, plant macrofossils, molluscs, insects and vertebrates and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating, as well as Updated Project Design (Hogue et al. 2020a, Stage 4 Review Points 6). The final technical report on the results of subsequent analyses as recommended and in fulfilment of Stage 5, Tasks 5.1 – 5.4, Review Point of the Updated Project Design, Review Point 7 (Hogue et al. 2020b). The potential for these results to refine our understanding of the site’s geological formation processes and aiding palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimate reconstruction is discussed in the final section of this report.
