UCL research featured in Mammoth documentary
27 January 2022
UCL research into Neanderthal archaeology featured in a recent BBC documentary presented by Sir David Attenborough.
The programme, 'Attenborough and the Mammoth Graveyard', broadcast in late December on BBC1, included Matthew Pope (UCL Archaeology South-East) sharing the results of excavations at La Cotte de St Brelade while Nick Ashton (British Museum and Honorary Professor, UCL Institute of Archaeology) explained the evolution of stone tool using cultures in Northern Europe.
Ongoing research excavations at La Cotte de St Brelade, run through UCL Archaeology South-East, have featured in many documentaries over the past decade. However, this was a rare opportunity to reach a very wide audience through prestigious coverage on BBC1, presented by a science broadcasting legend!
The programme is available to watch until Monday 31 January via the link below.
