Abstract:		 A two-phase archaeological evaluation was undertaken at London Arena, Crossharbour, Isle of Dogs. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the proposed development on any surviving archaeological remains. Environmental and topographical evidence dominated the results. The first phase of work evaluated the upper stratigraphy of the site, to a depth of over 3m, to around 0.50m OD. This was undertaken in August 2006. The second phase of evaluation examined the lower deposits, to a depth of -1.75mOD, and followed reduction of the upper levels. This was conducted over several months from January to May, 2007. The earliest deposits encountered were river terrace deposits sealed by grey/blue alluvial deposits to a level of -1.50m with an intermittent layer of peat sealing it, containing moderately well-preserved timbers of possible Bronze Age date. None of the timbers showed evidence of being worked, and are most likely the remains of trees. Alluvial deposits characterised the stratigraphy to a height of +1.60m OD, above which modern disturbances and evidence of redeposition were present. Inclusions of building material and peat lenses indicated that these were redeposited alluvial deposits, probably from excavations to the west of the site for Millwall Inner Dock. The uppermost layers are made ground forming the bedding layer for the present concrete slab.
