Description :
In the Quaternary, the central part of the Brazilian coastline suffered considerable variations in the relative sea-level. It was possible to identify three high sea levels. The last two whose relative sea-level is situated at a maximum of 8 2 m (120 000 years BP) and 4,5 0,5 m (5 100 years BP) above the current level left considerable records which could be identified through numerous absolute datings. The submergence and emergence of this coast towards 5 100 years BP are of first importance to understand the mechanisms of the Holocene littoral sedimentation.
