I love this stuff. Groups of people following migrating reindeer herds across areas now under the North Sea. Doggerland. Shrinking land masses. A real world now washed away, but sometimes dragged up in fishing nets. Or traces still left on higher ground. http://www.biggararchaeology.org.uk/news03_109_howburn.shtml	Posted by Howburn Digger 19th May 2012ce
