In 1931, the fishing trawler Colinda made a remarkable discovery off the English coast. The crew dredged up a lump of peat that contained a barbed antler point, a Mesolithic fishing tool dating back roughly 10,000 years. This find was the first solid evidence that people once inhabited a land now submerged beneath the North Sea. This lost land, now known as Doggerland, was once a thriving Mesolithic landscape that connected Britain to continental Europe. Around 6200 BC, the Storegga Slide, a massive underwater landslide off the coast of Norway, triggered a tsunami that devastated Doggerland's coastline. However, the drowning of this land was a gradual process that began with the melting of ice sheets at the end of the Pleistocene. See our article on the Doggerland: Europe's Lost Mesolithic Homeland Beneath the North Sea.
