Jersey’s history and heritage is simply outstanding and world-class! It could be said that in European history terms, Jersey has been at the centre for millennia, from when Neanderthals roamed the land between ice ages, right up to last 800 years or so, when Jersey found itself on a European frontline in the continent's military history. There are few places in the world which can boast the qualit

y and quantity in such a small area!. Guided tours will be in up to date luxury vehicles combined with exploring the sites on foot. Marc Yates, a Jersey-man born and bred, has had a passion for the Island’s history since a young age, and after a legal career, is now on a mission to bring that history alive to young and old. Marc is an Accredited Member of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides and is the only accredited battlefield guide in the Channel Islands. He is also a keen amateur archaeologist and geologist. Please have a look at our website to see what tours are available.

Met the team last year when they were taking samples at Green Island. Should be really interesting when they have results which will add considerably to Jersey's fabulous geological history!

Another update from Dr Thomas Stevens and PhD researcher Yunus Baykal on their work to date our loess and raised beaches.

Yunus is now preparing samples in Denmark (under artificial light) for detailed OSL dating. This will determine the last time these ancient sediments were exposed to light, giving us a date for their deposition. This should mean that the story of Jersey’s history over the last 200,000 years should soon become a lot clearer.

The team are also on the island again in March, working closely with local researchers, to identify new sites for future dating.

More updates soon!
