Contributing Authors

This volume, part of Jersey’s Archaeological Research Framework, assesses the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age in relation to the Channel Islands and NW France. It outlines current knowledge and sets research goals to guide heritage protection and future archaeological studies.

This volume is the first in a series of archaeological resource assessments commissioned by Jersey Heritage as part of an Archaeological Research Framework for the island. It is a comprehensive study of the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age of Jersey in the context of the other Channel Islands and their relationship with north-west France. The first part of the book describes our current state of knowledge and in the second part research objectives and questions are presented. These are designed to guide those responsible for the care and protection of artefacts, archaeological deposits and monuments. Researchers will benefit from the resource assessment as it provides an academic framework for future investigations in Jersey.
