Abstract:		 This document reports on the results of a geoarchaeological investigation undertaken by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on the site of Greenwich Millennium Village, London SE10. This report has been commissioned from MOLA by Environ on behalf of Taylor Wimpey plc. The centre of the site lies at National Grid reference 540150 179000. The site code is GMP12. Six purposive geoarchaeological boreholes were sunk across the site, revealing a Quaternary sedimentary sequence comprising Pleistocene floodplain gravels overlain by Late Pleistocene to Holocene sediments comprising (Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene bedded alluvial sands, Middle to Late Holocene organic muds and peats and Late Holocene mineral floodplain alluvium capped by modern made ground. In order to explore the palaeoenvironmental potential of the site, subsamples were taken from two boreholes, GA4 and GA6, for radiocarbon dating and pollen, plant macrofossil, ostracod, diatom and insect assessments. The assessments have revealed a series of environmental changes spanning the late Quaternary with particular focus on the palaeoenvironment of the vegetated wetland environments that formed on the site during the Middle and Late Holocene. This assessment has provided an outline of the changing palaeoenvironment throughout much of the Late Quaternary in this part of the Lower Thames valley. Some samples from the site have been shown to have high potential to provide a more detailed picture of these changes.
