Abstract: T he geological map shows a wide range of geoscientific information, including bedrock geology, superficial geology and artificial ground.The emphasis has traditionally been on 'bedrock geology' and 'superficial geology', but an improved understanding of the nature and distribution of artificial ground is becoming increasingly important for engineering and environmental assessments.Information about previously developed ground is especially important, as it is often associated with potentially contaminated material, unpredictable engineering conditions and unstable ground.The mapping and classification of artificial deposits using borehole information, historical maps and field visits provides valuable information to a variety of users.
