Unearthing Le Câtillon II

This exhibition looks at what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey. The world’s largest Celtic coin hoard stayed buried beneath Jersey’s soil until discovered in 2012. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place it was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
