The Neolithic in Jersey

This volume is the second in a series commissioned by Jersey Heritage as part of an overarching Archaeological Research Framework for the island. It is a comprehensive, up-to-date study of the Neolithic of Jersey in the context of the other Channel Islands and their relationship with north-west France. After a brief reference to the preceding Mesolithic period, and a discussion of the Neolithisation of Jersey, the volume summarises our current state of knowledge and proposes key outstanding research questions for the Early Neolithic (c. 4900−4700 BC), the Middle Neolithic I (c. 4700/4600−4300 BC), the Middle Neolithic II (4300−3400 BC) and the Late – Final Neolithic and Chalcolithic (c. 3400 − 2300 BC). It offers an academic framework for future investigations in Jersey and aims to inform the actions of those responsible for the care and protection of Jersey’s artefacts, archaeological deposits and monuments.
