description This data set includes the spatial model of the thickness and distribution of fine-grained floodplain deposits in the Leipzig floodplain area. The data set originates from borehole records provided by the Saxon State Office for Environment, Agriculture, and Geology [1]. The data processing involved the categorization of the stratigraphic descriptions of the borehole logs. For that, a methodology was implemented to categorize those into 6 broader classifications (sand, gravel, clay, anthropogenic sediments, fine-grained/organic sediments and others) with 33 sub-categories. Subsequently, the stratigraphic layers were analysed to determine the depth and thickness of the fine-grained floodplain deposits, as well as the distribution of anthropogenic material. The data set was filtered, with the condition that each borehole log has at least one clayey layer and a gravel layer of at least 0.7 m thickness and, later, interpolated to present a complete spatial model for the research area. The final data set is based on 3,414 data points (data collection covers the period: 1852 to 2018) within the Leipzig floodplain and offers significant resource for future interdisciplinary research into the natural and anthropogenic history of the Leipzig's floodplains, offering valuable information for more detailed analyses and more precise modelling of fine-grained floodplain deposit distribution in the Leipzig floodplain area.
