The ancient site of Olympia is located on the northern fringe Basin Makrisia at confluence Kladeos and Alpheios rivers (western Peloponnese, Greece) was used as a venue for Panhellenic Games from Archaic times until 4th century AD. Geophysical prospection (frequency domain electromagnetic induction electrical resistivity tomography) carried out basis detailed geoarchaeological investigations. In doing so, we identified previously unknown building structure adjacent to Altis, inner part...
Frequency-domain electromagnetic induction (FDEMI) methods are frequently used in non-invasive, area-wise mapping of the subsurface soil properties. A crucial part data analysis is geophysical inversion data, resulting either conductivity and/or magnetic susceptibility distributions. We present a novel 1D stochastic optimization approach that combines dimension-adapting reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with artificial bee colony (ABC) for inversion, specific application to...
Abstract. Located in the North Frisian Wadden Sea, today's tidal flat sediments cover a formerly cultivated area outside present-day sea dike of Nordstrand that had been occupied by settlers since Middle Ages. The intensive cultivation increased coast's vulnerability to storm floods. Especially medieval surges first Grote Mandränke (St Marcellus flood) 1362 CE and second (Burchardi 1634 destroyed large parts diked marshland. This study focusses on investigation drowned part Trendermarsch...
This paper presents scenarios for the evolution of selected deltas in eastern Mediterranean during last millennia. New concepts spatial and temporal are presented based on three case studies use a geoarchaeological approach – combining sedimentological facies geomorphological evidence with information from written records archaeological sources.

The inversion of geoelectric data is nonunique. Therefore, electric resistivity tomography (ERT) usually results in different subsurface models that fit observed apparent values equally well. To reduce the uncertainty, constraints on geometry and structures can be incorporated into ERT inversion. We test ways constraining by applying (1) improved starting models, (2) structural constraints, (3) constraints. A priori information needed for these approaches, which acquired from direct push...
Abstract Non‐invasive geophysical methods have been increasingly applied in geoarchaeological research commonly showing the need of data calibration based on stratigraphical information deduced from outcrops or sediment cores. In this contribution, a methodological approach combining two‐dimensional (2D) electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and coring and, for first time research, direct‐push conductivity (DP‐EC) logging is presented discussed. The yields high resolution studies two...
Abstract The western Peloponnese was repeatedly hit by major tsunami impacts during historical times as reported accounts and recorded in earthquake catalogues. Geological signatures of past have also been found many coastal geological archives. During the years, abundant geomorphological sedimentary evidence repeated Holocene landfall between Cape Katakolo city Kyparissia. Moreover, neotectonic studies revealed strong crust uplift along regional faults with amounts 13 m 30 since...
The shipsheds of the ancient seaport Oiniadai (5th-3rd cent. BC), today located in central Acheloos River delta on top Trikardo hills 9 km inland, document considerable coastal changes. This paper deals with reconstruction palaeogeographies that area since mid-Holocene. Sediments encountered 51 vibracores were used to detect distribution pattern facies. Facies discrimination was based sedimentological and micro- macrofaunal analyses. Palaeobotanical, micromorphological geophysical studies...
Coastal geomorphological and geological archives store valuable information about the geodynamic evolution of coastal areas contributing geomorphodynamic processes. The geomorphology Lefkada– Preveza zone, NW Greece, holds evidence for influence both gradual, low-energy episodic, high-energy Situated close to Hellenic Arc Cefalonia transform fault, area belongs one seismically most active regions in Mediterranean. Thus, tsunami events are assumed have contributed study according catalogues...
