“…of the archaeological structure. Harbor structures (e.g., quays, docks, and piers), fish tanks and water wells are more reliable indicators than buildings, pavements, and so forth which are not directly related to former sea level(Morhange & Marriner, 2015;Vacchi et al, 2016;Vunsh et al, 2017).I focused upon quay remains for the calculation of relative sea level change because they are the most reliable sea level indicators among the submerged remains. A minimum original elevation of 0.6 m was assigned for quays, taking into account their sheltered location close to wave action, the capacity for the landing of small boats and small tidal range (Aucelli, Cinque, Mattei, & Pappone, 2016; Auriemma & Solinas, 2009).…”
