This research aims to evaluate the amount of vertical ground movements during Roman times inside archaeological area Portus Julius (Gulf Pozzuoli) using high-precision surveys on most reliable sea-level markers. Measuring submersion ancient floors, structural elements belonging a former fish tank, and several roman pilae, two different relative sea levels (RSLs), related beginning end first century BCE, respectively, −4.7/−5.20 m −3.10 MSL (mean level), were detected. A photogrammetric...
Understanding long-term relative sea-level (RSL) changes and coastal dynamics in geologically stable areas is vital to decoding the interplay of natural processes human adaptations. This multidisciplinary research explores connection between mid-to-late Holocene shifts tectonic influences along mid-Tyrrhenian coastline, spanning Fondi Garigliano plains.During Roman era, city Formia emerged as a pivotal observation point for Tyrrhenian Sea, functioning major commercial hub with extensive...
This research aims to present new data regarding the relative sea-level variations and related morpho-evolutive trends of Naples coast since mid-Holocene, by interpreting several geomorphological historical elements. The analysis, which was applied emerged submerged sector between Chiaia plain Pizzofalcone promontory, took into account a dataset that is mainly composed of: measurements from direct surveys; bibliographic geological studies; sources; ancient pictures maps; high-resolution...
Campi Flegrei is one of the widest and most dangerous active volcanic complexes in Mediterranean basin, known to be affected by continuous sudden vertical ground movements (bradyseismic crisis) that have characterized post-calderic activity since Late Pleistocene particularly during Roman period. Despite intense volcano-tectonic processes, area has been densely inhabited Greek-Roman as testified several submerged archaeological remains here used high-precision relative sea-level markers. By...
Punta Licosa promontory is located in the northern part of Cilento coast, southern Tyrrhenian basin. This bordered by sea cliffs connected to a wide shore platform sloping slightly towards sea. area has been considered stable at least since Late Pleistocene, as testified series evidence well known literature. The aim this research reconstruct main coastal changes that have occurred middle Holocene means literature data, aerial photo interpretation, satellite images, GPS measurements, direct...
This research focuses on a geoarchaeological study of the coastal sector extending from Fusaro lake to Punta Pennata Islet, located in western peripheral area Campi Flegrei Caldera (Gulf Pozzuoli, Italy), reconstruct relative sea-level (RSL) oscillations and related vertical ground movements which have occurred since Roman period. is characterized by sudden volcano-tectonic origin (i.e. bradyseismic crisis) strongly modified landscape during Holocene. Despite this, has been densely inhabited...
During the last 3 ka, different human communities occupied Bay of Cádiz (SW Spain), including Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, Medieval and Modern settlements. Traces such historical occupations have been recognized along bay from a geoarchaeological point view. Some them bear palaeogeographical interest related to location shoreline. At same time, Holocene sedimentary units geomorphological elements identified can be interpreted as evidences its morphological evolution. The objective...
The Bay of Cádiz is located in South-western Spain (Andalusia region) and constitutes an example a typical estuarine salt marsh environment. In this study we reconstruct its Holocene morpho-evolution relative sea-level change history by assembling geodatabase geological markers derived from boreholes bibliographic data, standardized to the most recent international guidelines for RSL studies. identified high-precision index points were compared number new site-specific glacio-hydro-isostatic...
Abstract This research aims to reconstruct the submerged morphologies of high‐coast sectors Naples discriminating between landforms and anthropogenic structures, by analysing high‐resolution data a multibeam survey in GIS environment. In case natural landforms, signal analysis was performed characterize seabed discern sandy rocky bottom, together with slope pointing detection mapping different orders palaeo‐shore platforms at bathymetric ranges interpreted as erosional traces Holocene sea...
Coastal areas are dynamic environments that easily change over time. To contribute to a better understanding of natural and anthropogenic factors may have contributed in the past and/or control present-day near-future coastline modifications, we realised chronologically arranged sequence three geomorphological geothematic maps focusing on southern Molise coast (Adriatic coast, Italy). The first two concern modifications occurred respectively from Holocene 1950s (Map 1), Present 2). third map...
Understanding the historical changes in Relative Sea Level (RSL) and coastal responses stable regions is crucial for unraveling intricate relationship between natural dynamics human adaptation. This interdisciplinary study seeks to explore Holocene sea-level fluctuations area of Southern Latium, shedding light on how past societies adapted changes.The area, located Sinus Formianus, Fondi Garigliano plains, played a key role ancient times. Formia, strategic monitoring point Tyrrhenian Sea,...
<p>The Punta Licosa promontory is located in the northern part of Cilento coast southern Tyrrhenian basin. In this attractive landscape, depositional and erosional landforms, both above below sea level, can be considered a challenge scientific interest to reconstruct geomorphological evolution under control sea-level changes occurred during late Quaternary period. The study area took into account data provided by literature, aerial photo interpretation, GPS measurements,...
Campi Flegrei volcanic active system is an example of a coastal sector scattered with numerous emerged and submerged archaeological remains testifying the ancient conformation. The aim this research to obtain extensive GIS-based mapping Roman landscape by using data from direct geoarchaeological surveys indirect geophysical stratigraphical analysis. combination multi-technique approach allowed realization detailed paleo-landscape reconstruction area between 1st century BC AD, allowing...
