@caitlinrgreen Could it show an emerging growing spit and the binks out east.
@SpurnAndyG I think it must be the binks---were they more pronounced back then, though, so that could be depicted as island?
Is there an American translation for a bink?
It's a local name, presumably Middle English benks, binks, from Old Scand benkr/Scand'ized Old English benc, 'ledge, terrace, bank' :-)
Amazing work! How to win at Twitter! Thanx!
Hah! No problem! :)

@caitlinrgreen Goodbye Hull.
@khrizmo Alas, poor Hull...swallowed to become yet another part of drowned Doggerland...
@caitlinrgreen @khrizmo Have u guys seen a geographical reconstruction of UK 13k yrs ago. E.g Thames was a tributary of Rhine. Walk 2 Sweden
@DaveAtherton20 @khrizmo Yes, it's fascinating! I've posted about it in the past a couple of times :) eg http://www.caitlingreen.org/2014/08/the-flooding-of-mesolithic-doggerland.html …
