Anyway, since they were descerrned by color in the nice graphic, the descendants from Schleswig (Haitabu at the time) should be a similar color. And yes, the Haitabu guys would have been earlier Viking invaders, not Angles nor Saxons.

Yes, and shame it burned to the ground. It must have been a spectacular and cosmopolitan place, relative to the time.

I wonder where Doggerland people would have clustered had they stayed in one place. Right in the middle of that map one might suppose - between purple and blue.
