Mapping begins of lands lost to North Sea during the stone age
Expedition sets out to explore Doggerland, home to a Mesolithic culture submerged by the sea for 7,500 years
Lost at the bottom of the North Sea almost eight millennia ago following the end of the ice age, a vast land area between England and southern Scandinavia – the home to thousands of stone age settlers – is about to be rediscovered by scientists.
Marine experts, scientists and archaeologists have spent the past 15 years meticulously mapping thousands of kilometres under water in the hope of unearthing lost tribes of prehistoric Britain.
