The other evening I came upon a really excellent online video about the evolution over much of the last two millennia of the Lincolnshire coast. It is presented by Dr Caitlin Green whose work on this subject I have encountered before. The story she tells is fascinating, and more complex than being merely a story of gradual coastal erosion as in the case of the East Riding with its many villages swept away by the North Sea or of the eastern coast of Norfolk and Suffolk and the loss of towns such as Dunwich. Whether you know the area or not it is very interesting as a survey of change and human adaptation over time.
The video can be watched at The Changing Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Coastline of Lincolnshire, with Dr Caitlin Green
Thank you for the link. Dr Green provides links on her blog to here online writings on this subject:
