Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A geoarchaeological evaluation was carried out at the Delta Junction, South Quay and Canning Town sites of the DLR 3-Car-Capacity Enhancement scheme. The Evaluation involved the monitoring of purposive geoarchaeological boreholes, which confirmed that deposits of palaeo-environmental interest exist between about 3m OD and -3m OD. The purpose of the evaluation was to obtain geoarchaeological records and samples for off-site examination. Deposit modelling and the integration of specialist palaeo-environmental data shows that at the base of the Holocene deposits lies the Late Devensian Glacial formation of the Shepperton Gravels. These are overlain by Early Holocene banked sands that stabilised to form short lived Mesolithic landsurfaces. Silty clays and peats mark the inundation affects of relative sea level rise from the Early Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Towards the west these dense wooded environments were predominantly freshwater but became slightly brackish to the east of the route with the onset of tidal access. From the Iron Age onwards silty clays dominate as grass and herb fen mudflats form and brackish marine conditions move westwards and a full estuary environment is indicated to the east. At this time evidence suggests cereal cultivation and pastoral activities to the margins of this environment.
