Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The archaeological works found evidence of Late Devensian Shepperton Gravel capped by Holocene alluvial deposits containing widespread episodes of peat formation spanning from the late Neolithic to the early Iron Age confirming the great palaeoenvironmental and geoarchaeological potential of the site. Moreover the age and thickness of the peat at Wood Warf is consistent with peat formations observed elsewhere on the Island of Dogs. The archaeological works found further evidence of the development of the site during the post-medieval period. A sequence of deposits sealing the early alluvial deposits was recorded in Area 1 with an overall thickness of 1.16m. These deposits, containing fragments of post-medieval CBM, charcoal and industrial waste inclusions were interpreted as ground raising/consolidation for the construction of the Docks during the 19th century. Further evidence of the development t of the site was observed in Trench 7 from were part of the north side of the canal connecting the Blackwall Basin to the north and the Junction Dock to the south was found. The canal wall consisted of large granite ashlar blocks with a roughed western (internal) face. Only a small segment of this wall was exposed measuring 4.02m long and 1.37m wide.
