    So does this mean you will only change the modern coastline if there is a published study? Despite any comments in the historical record of different coastlines etc? Since the coasts of Tunisia, Egypt, Transoxiana(Aral Sea and river routes), Black Sea etc are likely to have been different, some perhaps to a great degree. Of course the main problem would be much evidence is submerged or if it exists is unstudied as the resources are not available in the current nation which owns the area. So redrawing the map might be supposition in many cases even going from scattered comments in historical records which can sometimes be difficult to be exactly sure which place they are referring to.

    There are many more coastlines than Dutch which changes drastically to resemble the modern ones. I asked this once already in reference to the modern Tunisian coastline if EB2 map would reflect modern coastline or go from some historical comments about a different coastlines that the ancients were familiar with. Since its quite difficult to prove conclusively where an ancient coastline was a a specific timescale of 100 years unless there is some historical reference such as Vesuvius which is well known but some smaller instances. River courses also changed in many areas though few drastically enough to be radically different on the scale of EB2 map. However some coastlines changed enough to be reflected at least from what I've read- so the question is does the team intend any such changes or that is beyond scope of EB2 portrayals? Since to establish to a scientific degree the timescale of the changes is difficult as all that you just posted implies.

    If no changes are made to modern coastlines it won't greatly bother me but it would be cool to see a map of current coasts of approximately that era.

    Present copies or cite the studies in question, but if these are simply casual musings of some by-passer, there'll be no joy found here. The reason this issue was addressed at all was because of the morphology of the North Sea's floor.
