Description
Discover the world of the first people who lived in Jersey. Enter the exhibition through a mammoth bone hut and step back in time a quarter of a million years to when Jersey was an outcrop of rock in a vast frozen landscape, frequented by herds of woolly mammoth and rhinoceros.
Meet the mammoth hunters. What did they look like? Where did they come from? How did they live and hunt for food? Find out how archaeologists have pieced together clues from fragments of bone, skulls and primitive tools to help us understand our early ancestors. The exhibition features some of the surviving woolly mammoth and rhinoceros bones and flint tools found at the internationally important site of La Cotte de St Brelade.
The Mammoth Hunters is a family focused exhibition full of adventure, clues and mystery.
Associated programme of talks, workshops, school projects and events.
