After my blog earlier about drowned lands, I though the following was quite nicely timed.
BBC Radio 4 Open Country programme explores Doggerland.

On the first day of this year’s Festival of British Archaeology, BBC
Radio 4 will be airing a special programme exploring Europe’s lost world
– Doggerland – a land lost beneath the waves of the North Sea, which is
the focus of a recent book published by the CBA.
Besides speaking to archaeologists who are investigating Doggerland,
Helen Mark will be joined by the storyteller Hugh Lupton who imagines
the myths of those long-lost hunter-gatherers.
The programme will be aired as follows:
* BBC Radio 4 on Saturday 18th July at 6.00am
* repeated on Thursday 23rd at 3.00pm
* will be on the BBC iPlayer for quite some time after that date.
For more information about Doggerland or to purchase a copy, see the CBA
news release about Europe’s Lost World; the rediscovery of Doggerland:

I’m particularly pleased as I’m a fan of Hugh Lupton, not least because of the wonderful work he’s done with Chris Wood.
