    A team from the University of Bradford are joining an expedition to find the lost prehistoric settlement of the Brown Bank.

    A two-year marine expedition to search for prehistoric, submerged human settlements around the area of the Brown Bank within the southern North Sea will be launched on 10 April.

    The Bradford experts will join teams from Ghent University and Flanders Marine Institute to carry out detailed geophysical surveys of the area, which use to be a land-crossing between the UK and Scandinavia during the last Ice Age around 10,000 years ago.
