A Douglas scientist who's helped reveal the prehistoric lost world beneath the North Sea could use the same techniques to discover how the Isle of Man first became inhabited.

Simon Fitch, 25, is in the second year of a PhD in the geoarchaeology of the Southern North Sea at Birmingham University. He studied for a degree in geology at Durham University, before completing a master's degree in landscape archaeology at the University of Birmingham.

As part of a small team of archaeologists, geologists and engineers he's exploring and visualising the hidden landscape which was a large plain where humans hunted animals and gathered plants more than 10,000 years ago.
Simon, who's based at the university's Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity, has played a pivotal role in the project, exploring and analysing key data. He hopes his expertise could help historians discover more about the Island.

'Using the technology we could firm up dates when the Isle of Man was first populated,' he explained.
