Europe's Lost World Summary

Europe's Lost World: The Rediscovery of Doggerland by Vincent Gaffney

This excellent book, which deserves a wide readership, reports on the work of the North Sea Palaeolandscapes Project, which has been researching the fascinating lost landscape of Doggerland which until after the end of the last Ice Age connected Britain to the continent in the North Sea area. It aims to make the findings available to a general readership, and show just how impressive they have been, with nearly 23,000km2 mapped. The techniques used to reconstruct the landscape are explained, and conclusions and speculation about the climate and vegetation of the area in the Mesolithic offered. It also tells the story of the rediscovery of Doggerland, and the Mesolithic landscape more generally, from the pioneering work of Clement Reid in the nineteenth century, to the research of Grahame Clark and Bryony Coles in the twentieth. It's also worth pointing out just how well produced and illustrated the book is, and one can only hope that it can spark public interest in a comparatively little known phase of our prehistory.

Europe's Lost World Reviews

The book captures the excitement of scientific and archaeological exploration and explains it all in an admirably accessible manner. It is very well written and beautifully presented, managing to successfully negotiate the competing demands of lay readers, students and academics.' -- Antiquity Antiquity
