Buried and Submerged Greek Archaeological Coastal Structures and Artifacts as Gauges to Measure Late Holocene Seafloor Subsidence off Calabria, Italy

Abstract: This synthesis integrates recently acquired archaeological and geological data with earlier documented observations to shed light on the subsidence of ancient Greek coastal facilities in southern Italy. These are now positioned between former shorelines and inner shelf sectors at five Calabrian margin localities. Submergence of coastal to inner shelf facilities has resulted in part from sea‐level rise by about 2 m associated with glacio‐hydro‐isostatic factors since archaic to classic Greek time. This phenomen… Show more

“…This is usually carried out by dating, measuring their elevation relative to the present sea-level, defining their function and determining their potential use as sea-level markers (Flemming 1969;Blackman 1973;Galili et al 1988Galili et al , 2005Galili & Sharvit 1998;Sivan et al 2001Sivan et al , 2004Lambeck et al 2004;Antonioli et al 2006;Auriemma & Solinas 2009;Anzidei et al 2011;Evelpidou et al 2012;Stanley & Bernasconi 2012). In addition to the original observations made on archaeological features during this study and presented in this work, we also reevaluated previous studies that dealt with such indicators along the coasts of Cyprus (e.g.…”

“…Several Mediterranean harbour cities have been studied over the last years dealing with regard to landscape history, utilisation of harbour basins in general, as well as harbour-related facilities such as breakwaters and wharfs (e.g., Reinhardt & Raban, 1999;Brückner, 2003;Morhange et al 2003;Galili, Zviely, & Weinstein-Evron, 2005;Brückner et al, 2006;Kraft et al, 2007;Marriner & Morhange, 2007;Vött et al, 2007;Marriner, Morhange, & Saghieh-Beydoun, 2008;Bini et al, 2009;Algan et al, 2011;Kızıldag,Özdaş, & Ulug, 2012;Stanley & Bernasconi, 2012;Brückner et al, 2013;Hadler et al, 2013;Özdaş & Kızıldag, 2013;Seeliger et al, 2013). For most of human history-from the Stone Age to modern times-harbours have played important roles in terms of trade, travelling, maritime traffic and economic centres.…”

“…One example from Goodman et al () reports harbor construction materials recovered in a single sediment core and correlates radiocarbon dates taken from other materials in cores with pottery series in Turkey. Similarly, Stanley and Bernasconi (:194, 196) briefly note the correlation of ceramics recovered in cores to submerged Greek coastal settlement periods. Two other studies address the investigation of microartifacts in cores: one by Stanley et al () reports an unintentional discovery of a manuport in a core in Egypt, and the other by Sonnenburg et al () uses microdebitage analysis from lakeshore sediment cores to search for prehistoric sites in the Canadian Great Lakes.…”
