Abstract:		 Excavations provided evidence of the prehistoric sedimentary and environmental development, and the cultural exploitation of the island in the Thames known historically as Horsleydown Eyot. The earliest evidence of human activity consisted of flintwork of a Late Mesolithic tradition, which may have continued into the Neolithic. Episodes of vegetational clearance were recorded from the Late Neolithic, followed by evidence of occupation. Subsequently, wetter conditions recommenced, with peat formation during the Late Bronze Age. Artefactual evidence within the peat demonstrates continued activity in the area, probably in the form of seasonal pasturage. At the end of the Bronze Age the area was submerged beneath the Thames and there was no further evidence of human activity until the post-medieval period, when drainage ditches were coupled with attempts to raise the ground level. The broken end of a worked oak ard foreshare was discovered, with a terminus post quem of 1030--785 cal BC it is thought to be the earliest ard component recovered from Britain.
