Jersey has been a magnet for Neanderthals and other hunter gatherer groups for over the last half million years. The Quaternary Archaeology and Environments of Jersey (QAEJ) project aims to investigate this past on different locations on the island. This multidisciplinary project consists of a team drawn from the the Institute of Archaeology (UCL), the Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins (Southampton), Manchester University and the University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids. The project forms part of the Leverhulme-funded Ancient Human Occupation of Britain (AHOB) project based at the British Museum and has been developed in close partnership with the Société Jersiaise and Jersey Heritage.
