| Video Discription | Lands beneath the sea are the stuff of legends. However, global warming at the end of the last Ice Age led to the inundation of vast landscapes that had once been home to thousands of people. These lost lands also hold a unique and, until recently, a largely unexplored record of settlement and colonisation linked to climate change over millennia. Amongst the most significant of these areas is known as Doggerland. Occupying much of the North Sea basin between continental Europe and Britain, Doggerland would have been a heartland of human occupation and central to the process of re-settlement and colonisation of north western Europe during the Mesolithic and the Neolithic. The difficulties of undertaking archaeological research in such an extreme environment are formidable, but over the last decade there has been a revolution in our knowledge of these lands. Marine development, linked to data provided by marine development, including the large wind-farms now being constructed as part of the UK’s green energy programme, has provided access to massive remote sensing data sets, and these have provided a key to direct exploration of these previously inaccessible archaeological landscapes. The lecture provides an overview of recent research and considers why these landscapes are so important and what their futures may be. Professor Vincent Gaffney originated in Newcastle upon Tyne and undertook his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Reading. He is now Anniversary Chair in Landscape Archaeology at the University of Bradford. He has worked extensively across Europe, North Africa and America but, for nearly two decades, he has been involved in large interdisciplinary studies related to Doggerland, the prehistoric landscape associated with the southern North Sea. He was Principal Investigator of the ERC Advanced Grantproject, "Europe's Lost Frontiers” and currently leads the AHRC “Taken at the Flood” project. Together, these projects have involved the mapping of prehistoric landscapes across c. 180,000 km2 of the North Sea. More recently he has been involved in Historic England “Unpath’d Waters” project – which aims to provide access to the UK’s marine data collections. Aside from this, Vince led the UK team within the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute "Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes" Project and recently undertook survey of the massive pit alignment associated with the Durrington Walls henge. Other projects have included the analysis of the Mesolithic pits at Warren Field, agent-based modelling of the battle of Manzikert (1071) in Anatolia, analysis of the Roman town at Wroxeter, survey of Diocletian’s Mausoleum and study of the landscapes of the Central Dalmatian islands (Croatia), survey at Cyrene (Libya), and historic landscape characterisation at Fort Hood (Texas).
