Honestly, this article on "Doggerland" is absolutely fascinating "The floor of the North Sea is now recognized as the largest well-preserved prehistoric archaeological landscape in the world. It would have been a paradise for the bands of hunter-gatherers who followed the retreating ice sheets into the region to settle there. They, however, were not Doggerland’s first inhabitants. Millennia prior to their arrival, the North Sea basin had belonged to Neanderthals, who lived there for hundreds of thousands of years." https://archaeology.org/issues/march-april-2022/letters-from/doggerland-mesolithic-submerged-landscape/ #archeology #history
