By 6500 BC, the remnants of the dwindling North Sea territory had become a 140 mile long, approximately 100 mile wide island covering thousands of square miles (partly where the North Sea’s Dogger Bank is today). But, over the centuries, it gradually shrank and was finally overwhelmed by the waves in around 5500-5000 BC. It is conceivable that at least some of its last inhabitants would not have been able to escape.

Perhaps some EEF made it to Dogger Island before it disappeared?:

"In a paper in the journal Science last February, members of the same team described DNA they’d dug up at Bouldnor Cliff, a submerged site off the Isle of Wight. They found evidence of wheat from 8,000 years ago—about 2,000 years before farming arrived in mainland Britain. Other researchers argued that the wheat DNA must have been modern contamination.

In the Doggerland samples, the team will look for DNA from crops or even domestic animals like sheep and goats. Gaffney says the findings might help identify the best spots to search for human archaeology—evidence of cleared areas, burning, or environments that would have made ideal settlements.

The samples will cover about 5,000 years of Doggerland’s history, from around 10,000 BC until the sea swallowed it. During this time, humans were transitioning from hunting and gathering to farming, plant life was changing, and a warming climate was raising sea levels, pushing people to higher ground. Gaffney plans to include all of this in a dynamic map of Doggerland that covers not just space, but time."
