Doggerland Discoveries: The Incredible Lost and Found Artefacts | Ancient Architects

Many thousands of years ago Northern Europe looked very different compared to today, with Britain and Ireland connected to mainland Europe and Scandinavia, via a lost landmass known as Doggerland. It now lies at the bottom of the North Sea due to rising sea levels and a process called Isostatic rebound. During the ice age, the weight of the ice further north forced this part of the world to bulge up. When the ice melted, the land started to sink until every last piece of Doggerland became submerged. Doggerland was once a lush forest, home to many different species of animals and plants, as well as being home to humans, Neanderthals and other types of hominid.
