Abstract Around 8150 BP, the Storegga tsunami struck North-west Europe. The size of this wave has led many to assume that it had a devastating impact upon contemporaneous Mesolithic communities, including the final inundation of Doggerland, the now submerged Mesolithic North Sea landscape. Here, the authors present the first evidence of the tsunami from the southern North Sea, and suggest that traditional notions of a catastrophically destructive event may need rethinking. In providing a more nuanced interpretation by incorporating the role of local topographic variation within the study of the Storegga event, we are better placed to understand the impact of such dramatic occurrences and their larger significance in settlement studies.

巨浪：Storegga 海啸和 Doggerland 的终结？

摘要 大约在公元前 8150 年，斯托雷加海啸袭击了欧洲西北部。这一波的规模让许多人认为它对同时代的中石器时代社区产生了毁灭性的影响，包括最终淹没多格兰，现在被淹没的中石器时代北海景观。在这里，作者展示了北海南部海啸的第一个证据，并建议可能需要重新思考灾难性破坏性事件的传统观念。通过在 Storegga 事件研究中结合当地地形变化的作用提供更细致入微的解释，我们可以更好地了解此类戏剧性事件的影响及其在聚落研究中的更大意义。
