Abstract
Much of the site of the Westgate Oxford development is located within the floodplain of the Thames which has been reclaimed by
several centuries of water channel management and ground raising to form the landscape of today. Buried beneath this modern
urban environment lies evidence of a previous, very different, and constantly changing landscape with a succession of ancient
meadering natural river channels and hidden islands dating back to the end of the last ice age, some 10,000 years ago.
