Future sea-level rise is expected to affect coastal aquifers and environments have significant impacts on communities. Here, we describe the impact of early late Holocene variations environment human settlements Carmel Coast, Israel. One these ancient communities, Tel Dor, was settled initially during Late Pottery Neolithic (ca. 7 ka) a wetland surface then abandoned for ca. 1.5 ka before resettlement occurred adjacent aeolianite ridge from Middle Bronze Age Crusader period (4.3–0.9 cal Ka...
Tsunami events in antiquity had a profound influence on coastal societies. Six thousand years of historical records and geological data show that tsunamis are common phenomenon affecting the eastern Mediterranean coastline. However, possible impact older prehistoric societies has not been investigated. Here we report, based optically stimulated luminescence chronology, earliest documented Holocene tsunami event, between 9.91 to 9.29 ka (kilo-annum), from at Dor, Israel. debris early...
This article presents new archaeological observations and multidisciplinary research from Dor, Israel to establish a more reliable relative sea level for the Carmel Coast Southern Levant between Middle Bronze Age Roman period (ca. 3500-1800 y BP). Our record indicates of low level, around -2.5 m below present, Hellenistic 3500-2200 was followed by rapid rise present levels, starting in concluding during 2200-1800 These levels agree with other sea-level indications tectonically stable areas...
Abstract The protected Tel-Dor coastal embayment in the eastern Mediterranean preserves an unusually complete stratigraphic record that reveals human–environmental interactions throughout Holocene. Interpretation of new seismic profiles collected from shallow marine geophysical transects across bay show five units were correlated with stratigraphy and age dates obtained shallow-marine sediment cores. This framework permits a detailed reconstruction system over last ca. 77 ka as well...
The sixth sentence of the fifth paragraph in Results should have cited reference 36 instead 35.As a result, all subsequent references are misnumbered.References 35-47 be 36-48.There is an error caption for Fig 3, "Core analysis and chronostratigraphic correlation.
Where are the harbour structures of thriving Hellenistic and Roman city Dor? Recent underwater coastal surveys excavations, together with geoarchaeological geophysical studies, provide strong evidence devastating impact a sea level rise in Dor, as well recovery renewed resilience Period. This includes two previously unknown new installations: very large maritime structure, tentatively identified quay (in North Bay), fortification system protecting an anchorage South Bay).
<p>The Tel-Dor embayment located along the Carmel coast provides a valuable opportunity to study environmental and human interaction due its protecting geomorphic properties that are unique for generally linear Israeli coast. Interpretations of seismic profiles collected from transects across bay show five units have been correlated dated well-analyzed sediment in coastal cores, enabling detailed deep time reconstruction system over last ~77 ka. The earliest borehole deposits...
