Early Middle Palaeolithic Neanderthal Occupation of the Channel Plain Region
Join Sam Griffiths of the University of Southampton for an archaeological lunchtime lecture
The English Channel Region (or 'La Manche') has long been of interest to Palaeolithic Research and Quaternary studies. However the key Neanderthal site of La Cotte de St. Brelade, originally excavated between 1962-78, has never fully been re-evaluated within a modern research context. In this talk, Sam Griffiths will discuss some of the new knowledge, its importance to understanding Neanderthal occupations of the region, and what it can tell us of the further North-Western European region, with examples from Lincolnshire and the East Midlands.
Sam Griffiths is a PhD student at the University of Southampton.
This talk is part of our ongoing Lunchtime Lectures series. It will be held in the auditorium at The Collection, starting at 12.30 and lasting for approximately 30 minutes.
Tickets cost £3 per person, available from the museum reception desk and through Digitickets.
