12,000 years ago the area that now forms the southern North Sea was
dry land: a vast plain populated by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. By
5,500 BC the entire area had disappeared beneath the sea as a
consequence of rising sea levels. Until now, this unique landscape
remained hidden from view and almost entirely unknown. The North
Sea Palaeolandscape Project, funded by the Aggregates Levy
Sustainability Fund, have mapped 23,000 km2 of this lost world
using seismic data collected for mineral exploration. Mapping
Doggerland demonstrates that the North Sea covers one of the
largest and best preserved prehistoric landscapes in Europe. In
mapping this exceptional landscape the project has begun to provide
an insight into the historic impact of the last great phase of
global warming experienced by modern man and to assess the
significance of the massive loss of European land that occurred as
a consequence of climate change. Contents: 1) Mapping Doggerland
