This second volume in Jersey’s Archaeological Research Framework offers a detailed study of the island’s Neolithic period, its links to the Channel Islands and NW France, and outlines key research questions. It provides a foundation for future studies and heritage protection efforts.
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.
Preface
Chapter 1. General introduction and overview
Chapter 2. Before the Neolithic: A glimpse into the Mesolithic of the Channel Islands
Chapter 3. The Neolithisation of Jersey and the other Channel Islands, and the Early Neolithic, c. 4900-4700 BC
Chapter 4. The Middle Neolithic I (c. 4700/4600-4300 BC): development of an Insular Neolithic, while remaining connected - just - to the neighbouring mainland
Chapter 5. The Middle Neolithic II (4300-3400 BC): the 'golden age' of megalithic (and drystone) funerary monument construction in Jersey (c. 4300-3900 BC), followed by a period (c. 3900-3400 BC) characterised by the near-absence of evidence
Chapter 6. The Late-Final Neolithic (and Chalcolithic), a long (c. 3400-2300 BC) and poorly-understood period
Chapter 7. Conclusions
