ASE team hunting Neanderthals on Jersey’s Violet Bank featured on Digging for Britain

Funded by our brilliant project partners Jersey Heritage, we are building on 15 years working in Jersey to understand, protect and share its deep history, as well as training students from the UCL Institute of Archaeology.

In this evening’s programme you can see ASE Geoarchaeologists Matt Pope, Letty Ingrey and Stefan Bryant surveying the Violet Bank, a spectacular intertidal landscape that preserves Neanderthal archaeology, guided by Jersey experts Nicky Mansell and Phillipa Kergozou.

Later, alongside Olga Finch, Curator of Archaeology for Jersey Heritage, we join Professor Alice Roberts in the finds tent to talk through some of the star finds from the reef.
