  1. #Paleoecology of #Doggerland
    A study of DNA preserved in the sediments of a river system in the now-inundated Doggerland landmass in #NorthSea finds evidence suggesting the presence of temperate tree species in Doggerland around 16,000 years ago, earlier than they appeared in surrounding European forests. The findings suggest that Doggerland may have been a favorable environment for the development of #Mesolithic societies, according to the authors. pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas #science

    "#Doggerland was named after the Dogger Bank (after 17th-century Dutch fishing boats called doggers), which formed a highland region that became submerged later than the rest of Doggerland.

    The archaeological interest intensified in 1931 when a fishing trawler dragged up a barbed antler point that was subsequently dated to a time when the area was tundra. Vessels have since dragged up remains of mammoths, lions and other animals, and a few prehistoric tools and weapons. Most #archaeological evidence of human habitation dates to the #Mesolithic period during the early #Holocene."

  8. Interessant: Die Nordsee im heutigen Sinn gibt es erst seit ca. 5500 Jahren. Vorher sah das alles anders aus: >>[...] Das Land soll fruchtbar gewesen sein, grün, blühend, trotz der damaligen Kaltzeit: Die Menschen liefen durch Wiesen und Wälder, durchzogen von Flüssen und Seen. So mündete die Elbe in einem Binnensee, die Themse mündete in den Rhein.
    Doggerland wird von einigen Archäolog*innen als das „Herz Europas“ bezeichnet, doch wurde es mit dem Ende der Eiszeit und den daraus resultierenden schmelzenden Gletschern und steigendem Meeresspiegel immer kleiner. Um 5.500 vor unserer Zeitrechnung versank auch der kleine Rest des Doggerlandes, die Doggerbank, endgültig in der heutigen Nordsee. Weshalb die Forschung an diesem untergegangenen Landstrich so interessiert ist, hat auch einen aktuellen Zusammenhang: [...]<<
