Lost at sea! Expedition to find lost prehistoric settlement
Marine experts join archaeologists in an expedition to find the lost prehistoric settlement of the Brown Bank
A two-year marine expedition to search for prehistoric, submerged settlements around the area of the Brown Bank within the southern North Sea will be launched on April 10th.
Teams from the University of Bradford, Ghent University and Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) will join forces to carry out detailed geophysical surveys of the area, before extracting sediment cores that can be examined for evidence of human activity.
The project complements the Bradford-led “Lost Frontiers” project, in which archaeologists are mapping the prehistoric North Sea landscape known as Doggerland, and is funded by the European Research Council (ERC).
