A reconstruction map of Doggerland, the vast landmass that connected Britain to continental Europe during the last Ice Age. Submerged by rising seas between approximately 8000 and 6000 BCE, Doggerland was a rich landscape of river valleys, marshes, and low hills inhabited by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers.
