“…The sentence, "during the Roman Age, sea level was at À1.36 AE 0.1 m, while in the Middle Age it was at À0.56 AE 0.2 m, in agreement with previous estimations for the Mediterranean region", reminds readers of the most recent results in the Mediterranean area and shows a possible variation of the RSL in time (see also Pagliarulo et al, 2013).…”

“…For example, a fish tank in Salerno at −1.4 m bsl was dated back to 1.9 ky in [84]. At about −0.40 m, we found a less precise marker (a walking surface of the basilica of San Nicola [81]) at −0.32 m in the Middle Ages. We also added some radiocarbon ages from Vermetid reefs [65] at −0.3 m, which dated back to 169, 163, 189 years cal BP, and another at −0.4 cm which dated back to 279 years cal BP.…”

“…The Favignana speleothem provides an interesting result concerning sea-level change over the last 1300 years, as sea-level data are very scarce in tectonically stable areas of the Mediterranean Sea [80,81]. The submerged portion of the stalactite was truncated and bored by Lithophaga lithophaga.…”

This study presents a global overview of the submerged speleothems used to reconstruct paleo sea levels and reports new results from two stalactites collected in the Mediterranean Sea. Coastal cave deposits significantly contributed to the understanding of global and regional sea-level variations during the Middle and Late Quaternary. The studied speleothems cover the last 1.4 Myr and focused mainly on Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 1, 2, 3, 5.1, 5.3, 5.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.5. The results indicate that submerged speleothems represent extraordinary archives that can provide detailed information on former sea-level changes. The two stalactites collected in the central Mediterranean Sea, at Favignana and Ustica islands (Sicily, Italy), are both characterized by continental, phreatic or marine layers. The U-Th and 14C ages of the new speleothems provide results of great interest for relative sea-level changes over the last 1000 years.

“…The high levels of water content below the crypt and the Basilica are also of concern from a conservation point of view [27]. These hydrological phenomena have, however, Because of sea levels having risen since the building of the Basilica in the eleventh century, there have been frequent incursions of groundwater from the overlying water table into the crypt, and its floor has been raised several times over the centuries as a result [26]. The high levels of water content below the crypt and the Basilica are also of concern from a conservation point of view [27].…”

This paper examines an aspect of a value-based approach to underground built heritage (UBH). A key tool for the manager of any built heritage today is the mapping of its manifold values for different audiences, to inform their management strategy. This paper first reviews an important paradigm shift that has occurred in the humanities and in cultural heritage management, leading to the recognition of the centrality of the worldviews and lived experience of the different members that make up communities. Drawing on a selection of examples from the literature, it then demonstrates how many UBH sites across a wide spectrum of cultures acquired cosmological and cultic value and significance in a way that is qualitatively different to most built heritage sites above ground. The spectrum of challenges that this poses to the UBH site manager is then outlined by reviewing literature on a selection of UBH examples, from prehistoric archaeological sites to living religious sites. Some key guiding principles are proposed for the management of these different scenarios. Culturally sensitive management that respects the existing value systems of local communities is indispensable wherever such communities are present. Decision-makers need to be keenly aware of these value systems and need to recognize, empower, and complement existing traditional systems of stewardship.
