It’s the last day in Doggerland for the @bradarch.bsky.social @subnordica.bsky.social , @vliz.be teams and the Simon Stevin. It’s been a very succesful trip already - plenty of lithics, cores and survey data.

It’s been a busy couple of days at sea, taken up by dredging and grabs of targets during the day, and surveying through the night. We’re still sorting through all the material but hopefully we’ll have more to report soon🤞 @bradarch.bsky.social @vliz.be #archaeology #northsea #doggerland

Another busy day on the RV Simon Stevin. Today we focused on dredging a number of priority areas, and started the long process of sorting through all the material! In the afternoon we also captured a number of video frames of the seabed @bradarch.bsky.social @vliz.be

It’s the beginning of day 2 on the RV Simon Stevin and we’ve just finished our first night of survey. We’ve a busy day ahead, with a number of targets within the first survey area before moving up the southern river valley @vliz.be @bradarch.bsky.social

During Robyn and Simon's recent field work planning trip to Lake Ogawara, Northern Japan, they had the opportunity to visit the Towada Volcano, a highly eruptive force during the Late Palaeolithic which has now formed into a caldera.

We’re now on our way to the southern river area of the North Sea, as part of work with the Taken at the Flood project. We’ll keep you updated on all our progress on the RV Simon Stevin over the next 7 days @bradarch.bsky.social @vliz.be

Last week two of our LOTE project team (Simon and Robyn) made their way to Lake Ogawara, Northern Japan to start planning fieldwork for next year.

You can follow their progress on our Instagram.

Last week, SLRC’s @sef049.bsky.social visited the Chinese National Centre for Archaeology, in Beijing. Whilst there he visited the Institute of Underwater Archaeology and met Dr. Guoqing Liang (Deputy Director), and marine archaeologist, Dr. Guangcan Xin. @uniofbradford.bsky.social

His talk, entitled, ‘The prehistory of a lost landscape beneath the North Sea: past, present and future’, focused on the prehistoric archaeology of the North Sea (Doggerland), and the research being carried out at the Submerged Landscapes Research Centre.

This week, our very own James Walker was invited to speak at the U3A Bradford archaeology and geology interest group, as part of their 2025 guest speaker series.

Submerged Landscapes

The research focuses on the degree of ridge attrition on these artefacts, assessed by examining the rounding or flattening of triangular ridges—a feature indicative of post-depositional movement.
