Outstanding documentary of an extraordinary collection of artifacts and geography. What? One day? Two days? to see it all?
Thankyou.
Thankyou.
I recently listened to a Sumer repeat of an In Our Time on Doggerland. Fascinating what might still be under the sea to be discovered.

I don’t think the museum is huge. One day probably would be sufficient but I’m sure there are other great things to see on the Netherlands.
Doggerland fascinates me. I want to sit and study the tools. Google UBC/MOA.
The bulk of the holdings don't interest me much except the artifacts from the Pacific Northwest. They let me sit and draw, really an enjoyable experience.
We have had a similar sea level rise, possibly 100m or more, on Canada's west coast. Whole villages had to be uprooted and moved "inland" as the glaciers melted. The First Nations carry a very accurate oral history that is now known to span some 14,500 years at least. They know what happened.

Interesting watch. I have the 'In Our Time - Doggerland' episode permanently bookmarked/downloaded on BBC Sounds
If you are willing to plough through the hundreds of episodes & cherry-pick your interests, there are some fascinating talks/interviews on there & Melvin Bragg is very good at keeping it interesting.

In the last 2 years, if my memory serves, some people examined bathymetric maps of Doggerland. Their express purpose was to pick a most likely site to go camping as a community of people.
The next step was to do some dredging on the spot that they had selected.
BINGO! Up comes all sorts of worked flint stones.

@Wandering Fred - In our Time is great programme.
@Robson Valley - on the programme they said they had mapped all of it for oil and wind farms and they wanted to work out where best to explore further. Particularly likely areas that had the range of flora and fauna where they may be able to target for exploration.
