Is it possible lands now underwater were settled by humans thousands of years ago?

So, I was reading the Wikipedia article about Doggerland, and the land available surprises me. Of course, it's hypothetical, but still, did settlements exists? Or we can only suppose?

Skara Brae is much closer to the sea than it used to be. It's entirely conceivable that there were other settlements closer that have been washed away or become submerged.
