Archaeologists tend to refer to the land that once existed between Britain and the continent as a landbridge. It was, however, a landscape as habitable as neighbouring regions, and here called Doggerland to emphasise its availability for settlement by prehistoric peoples. Evidence from the Geological Surveys undertaken by countries bordering the North Sea Basin, together with allied research, is drawn together to provide an overview of the possibilities. A range of interacting geological processes implies that the present-day relief of the North Sea bed does not provide a sound guide to the relief of the former landscape, nor to the chronology and character of its submergence. A series of maps accompanies the text to provide a speculative reconstruction of the topography, river systems, coastline, vegetation, fauna, and human occupation of Doggerland from the Devensian/Weichselian maximum to the beginnings of the Neolithic.

The nature and timing of faunal change in the British Isles across the Pleistocene/Holocene transition

The abrupt change in climate during the last deglaciation is reflected in the British Isles by a transition from periglacial to temperate faunas. In contrast to the coleopteran record, terrestrial mammals characteristic of the Lateglacial persist for several hundred years in southern Britain after the end of the Younger Dryas (Loch Lomond Stadial, end-Pleistocene). This lag in the vertebrate faunal transition could reflect a delay in the Holocene vegetational succession, coupled with a degree of thermal tolerance in cold-adapted mammals. Nonetheless, distinct faunal transitions are seen in the vertebrate records in both southern Britain and southern Ireland, and there do not appear to be transitional faunas containing contemporaneous glacial and temperate species at the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary.
