Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Three geoarchaeological boreholes were put down at the site. The results were combined with previous geotechnical records from the site to produce a deposit model, clarifying the nature, depth, extent and date of any alluvium and peat associated with the Battersea channel. The anthropogenically-derived material incorporated in the silty deposits and the nature of their structure and fabric suggest that the deposits were not entirely the result of undisturbed natural processes of sedimentation, but have been significantly influenced by human occupation. It seems possible that most of the material recovered from one borehole, situated over the crest of the gravel 'spur' may be Made Ground, while in another the sediment recovered might represent semi-natural deposition during a late stage in the infilling of the palaeochannel that passed to the south of the Battersea 'eyot'. Borehole <4> confirmed that the sedimentary sequence was very thin, comprising soil and heavily contaminated sub-soil overlying sands and gravels, representing a rise in the gravel surface to the south of the site. In the absence of sediments that can be confidently regarded as in situ products of natural or semi-natural processes, further geoarchaeological or palaeoenvironmental investigation of the site was not recommended.
