Late Holocene ground movements in the Phlegrean Volcanic District (Southern Italy) : new geoarchaeological evidence from the islands of Vivara and Procida
The cross-referencing of sedimentological, stratigraphic, geoarchaeological and radiocarbon data enables to establish the geomorphologic evolution of the Late Holocene coastal flood plain of the Turia River. The Holocene marine transgression formed
of the floodplain on top of the sedimentary sequence. Four phases are clearly recognised in the geoarchaeological record of the flood plain. The navigable channel of the Roman and early Islamic periods became a wide and shallow braided channel in Medieval times
, geoarchaeological, geochemical and microfaunal studies as well as geophysical methods revealed evidence of multiple palaeotsunami landfall at the harbour site and surrounding coastal area. Tsunami signatures include coarse-grained, sandy to gravelly allochthonous
This paper is both a literature review and a precursor to a research agenda focusing on a geoarchaeological analysis of the tracks within a GIS reconstruction of the Maltese palaeo-landscape. Conjectures on the origin, function and date
