Underneath the surface of the Solent, archeologists found vestiges of a prehistoric landscape, where people used to live and work with wood, move around the coast, many millennia before Britain became an island. Known as Bouldnor Cliff, it is an archaeological site on the Isle of Wight, which represents one of the most important underwater discoveries of prehistory in Europe.
As indicated by the University of York's submerged landscape research project, at this site, wooden materials, hearths, artifacts, and signs of Mesolithic occupation dating back several millennia ago were discovered. The find revolutionized the understanding of Stone Age Britain.
