Sea-level change has influenced human population globally since prehistoric times.
Even in early phases of cultural development human populations were faced with marine
regression and transgression as a result of changing climate and corresponding glacio-isostatic
adjustment. Global marine regression during the last glaciation changed the palaeogeography
of the continental shelf, converting former marine environments to attractive terrestrial
habitats for prehistoric humans. These areas of the shelf were used as hunting and
gathering areas, as migration routes between continents, and most probably witnessed
the earliest developments in seafaring and marine exploitation, until the postglacial
transgression re-submerged these palaeo-landscapes. Based on modern marine research
technologies and the integration of large databases, proxy data are increasingly available
for the reconstruction of Quaternary submerged landscapes. Also, prehistoric archaeological
remains from the recent sea bottom are shedding new light on human prehistoric development
driven by rapidly changing climate and environment. This publication contributes to
the exchange of ideas and new results in this young and challenging field of underwater
palaeoenvironmental investigation
