Dr Matt Pope, a senior research fellow and archaeologist at the Institute of Archaeology at University College London, says his team’s work at La Cotte has unearthed ‘exceptional data’ which shows that Neanderthal man was ‘an incredible survivor’.
Dr Pope has heralded the cave in St Brelade, on the headland at Ouaisné Bay, as a site of international importance. Together with experts from four UK universities, he spent time surveying the cave, the sea-bed at St Brelade and a field in St Saviour earlier this summer.
