Mammoth tooth found in Jersey

Dr Matt Pope, a senior research fellow of the Institute of Archaeology at the University College London, said that further analysis of the tooth, pictured with UCL’s Letty Ingrey who made the find, would need to be carried out and the artefact would be lab-tested in the autumn.

He added that the find was unusual in that part of the Island as although mammoth remains have been uncovered in Jersey before, they have mainly been in St Brelade.

Over the past seven years teams of archaeologists led by Dr Pope have visited the Island in partnership with Jersey Heritage to investigate evidence of Jersey’s Ice Age.
