• Preface Part 1: Overview, The condition of Holocene alluvial archaeology in the UK: progress, constraints and opportunities, Time, space and causality in floodplain palaeoecology, Part 2: Landscape reconstruction: UK perspectives, Hemington Quarry, Castle Donington, Leicestershire, UK: a decade beneath the alluvium in the confluence zone, Palaeoenvironmental investigations on the middle Thames at Dorney, UK, From prediction to prospection: finding prehistory on London’s river, Geoarchaeological evidence for Holocene landscape evolution in the Hull Valley, eastern England, UK, Holocene landscape change in the lower Great Ouse valley, Cambridgeshire, England, The environmental archaeology of the Late Bronze Age occupation platform at Shinewater, near Eastbourne, UK, Why build in a Scottish firth? An assessment of the topographic and environmental conditions that were prevalent for the building of a marine crannog in north-east Scotland, Part 3: Floodplain management of archaeology: UK perspectives, Issues and agenda in archaeological research and management: a case study from the Trent Valley, UK, The London Thames: a decade of research into the river and its floodplain, Part 4: Landscape reconstruction: Northern European perspectives, Landscape evolution and site formation of two mesolithic sites in the lower Rhine-Meuse delta (Hardinxveld, The Netherlands), Fluvial metamorphosis of the River Loire during the Holocene: and the role of natural and anthropogenic factors: a case study from the area of Tours, France, The geomorphological setting and reconstruction of a late Roman Bridge at Cuijk, The Netherlands, Part 5: Landscape reconstruction: Southern European perspectives, Quaternary alluviation and archaeology in the Evrotas Valley, southern Greece, Palaeoenvironment and morphodynamics in the mid-Medjerda floodplain (northern Tunisia) between 12 000 and 2000 BP: geoarchaeological and geomorphological findings, The geoarchaeology of Mesolithic settlement and subsistence in the Muge valley, Lower Tagus Basin, Portugal, Holocene landscape dynamics in a Sicilian upland river valley, Part 6: Landscape reconstruction: Eastern European perspectives, Preservation and prospection of alluvial archaeological resources in the southern Balkans: a case-study from the Teleorman river valley, southern Romania, Sediment transfer and storage linked to Neolithic and Early Medieval soil erosion in the Upper Odra Basin, southern Poland Part 7: Methodological perspectives, GIS-based modelling of sub-surface deposits for archaeological prospection in alluvial landscapes, Visualising the sub-surface: problems and procedures for areas of deeply stratified sediments, The interpretation of Mollusca from Holocene overbank alluvium: progress and future directions Part 8: Alluvial archaeology in the USA: a perspective Dating late Quaternary alluvial stratigraphic sequences, Author index.

'Alluvial Archaeology in Europe is a well-produced book and its contents are heartily recommended to geoarchaeologists, fluvial geomorphologists, environmental scientists and resource managers at both student and professional level. Each paper is excellent and stands alone as a valuable contribution to the literature.' The Holocene (2004)
