The Final Days of Doggerland

A young woman in hunter-gatherer times relies on her skills for crafting poisons to survive after being captured by a hostile tribe.

It was the time that today we call the Neolithic . . . a time before the Egyptian pyramids. A time before Stonehenge. It was the time of the early migrations of the Yamnaya people, who were moving westward from the Pontic Steppe, a home that stretched from what’s now Bulgaria to Kazakhstan. Doggerland once connected the British Isles to Continental Europe, but it was sinking into the North Sea. Little more remained than islands and sandbanks . . . yet there were persistent tales of firm lands that lay beyond those waters.
