      The authors consider the class of uniformly asymptotically flat graphical hypersurfaces of Euclidean space which have uniformly bounded depth and non-negative scalar curvature. The authors show that if a sequence of such elements has mass approaching 0, then the sequence converges to a Euclidean space in the pointed intrinsic flat sense. This means that if the ADM mass is small, then the manifold is close to a Euclidean space. The introduction contains a statement of the main results. Section 2 provides the background. Main results from previous papers are reviewed here. Section 3 deals with limiting results. Section 4 provides the required estimates of a geometrical nature. Section 5 treats bi-Lipschitz maps. Section 6 uses these results to prove the one of the main results and Section 7 uses pointed convergence to prove the other main result. Appendix A provides a theorem concerning intrinsic flat limits of integral current spaces.
