Untitled[edit]

The dimensions are (1) clearly wrong, since the bank is longer in E-W than N-S, and (2) in an unkown unit called "miles". If it is statute miles then it is inappropriate, but nautical miles is ok, it just should be said that it is nautical miles. The appropriate SI unit would be km.

Miles is by no means unknown to a significant percentage of English speakers. 65.167.146.130 (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dogger Bank itch[edit]

I removed this from the "see also" but there appears to be enough material for an article. - brenneman 07:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Anyone know what Dogger refers to? Why is it called that? Cheers, LindsayHi 03:01, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you look it up in Wikipedia? They even have an article on the Dogger Bank! It says: "from dogge, an old Dutch word for fishing boat". (I also missed it at first.) Cheers. Hans Adler 13:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Guess it's official! I'm going daft ~ how did i miss the opening phrase of the article? Cheers, LindsayHi 05:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
However... the etymology in the introduction does not have a source. There needs to be one - and a sentence or two in the article, on the origin of the name. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:10, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cricket match[edit]

I understand there is something of a tradition for some cricketers to go out and play cricket on it during exceptionally low tides. 92.15.10.209 (talk) 14:59, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that any part of the Dogger Bank is sufficiently exposed even at the lowest tides to allow this, but similar games were or are held on the Goodwin Sands off Kent and on Bramble Bank in the Solent. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195}

Populated in ancient times before rise of sea level?[edit]

I'm pretty sure this was part of the land connection that spanned Scandinavia and the British Isles, and connected also to the rest of the European mainland at one point. While the ice covered it, there was a period of time during which it may have been populated, from what I remember reading once. --24.182.92.247 (talk) 00:58, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Archaeology, including citizen science[edit]

Quote:

Manmade beaches constructed from material dredged from the sea as part of efforts to protect the modern coastline from the impact of the climate crisis have provided a trove of once-inaccessible treasures from a world inhabited for a million years by modern humans, Neanderthals and even older hominids known has Homo antecessor.

“We have a wonderful community of amateur archaeologists who almost daily walk these beaches and look for the fossils and artefacts, and we work with them to analyse and study them,” said Van der Vaart-Verschoof. “It is open to everyone, and anyone could find a hand axe, for example. Pretty much the entire toolkit that would have been used has been found by amateur archaeologists.”
