Abstract:		 The Environment Agency commissioned Oxford Archaeology (OA) in March/April 2009 to undertake a geoarchaeological borehole survey to examine the archaeological resource at land at Cookham Sashes in Berkshire. The Environment Agency propose to create a fish and wildlife channel across Sashes Island to alleviate the environmental consequences of the existing weir. To achieve this a channel will need to be dug along one of three potential routes, and cut to below the water-table. This survey was commissioned to assess which of the route options would cause least damage to any surviving archaeological resource. The survey revealed a sequence of thick made-ground deposits overlying a buried alluvial and organic sequence. There is the potential for early prehistoric archaeology to be preserved at this level, associated with a buried dry land surface. It is possible that this surface was transformed by rising ground water-levels from the late prehistoric period. This was followed by widespread alluviation in the Middle Thames during the late Roman Period. No evidence for either the Roman settlement or the Saxon burgh was identified within the site. Only the high gravel elevations to the east and two islands toward the centre of site may have remained dryer for longer in the Mid Holocene before eventually being submerged.
