Palaeogeographies of the Magra Valley coastal plain to constrain the location of the Roman harbour of Luna (NW Italy)

Climatic signature of two mid–late Holocene fluvial incisions formed under sea-level highstand conditions (Pisa coastal plain, NW Tuscany, Italy)

“…Nevertheless, the two models misfit. Although the amount of available index points concerning the Holocene sea level in this area is remarkable and constantly increasing, there is still a certain amount of uncertainty on sealevel elevation even during the late Holocene (Morhange et al, 2001(Morhange et al, , 2006(Morhange et al, , 2013Antonioli et al, 2007Antonioli et al, , 2009Furlani et al, 2011;Primavera et al, 2011;Spampinato et al, 2011;Bini et al, 2012;Evelpidou et al, 2012;Amato et al, 2013). Small-amplitude sea-level lowering along the Tyrrhenian coastline during the late Holocene has been hypothesized by Benvenuti et al (2006) and Marra et al (2013).…”

Palaeoenvironments and palaeotopography of a multilayered city during the Etruscan and Roman periods: early interaction of fluvial processes and urban growth at Pisa (Tuscany, Italy)

“…In the complex alluvial landscape around multilayered cities, the application of mono-disciplinary studies can furnish merely partial and limited results. Only through a comprehensive geoarchaeological analysis can we identify and map historical ground layers and contribute to resolve the complexity of areas in which urbanisation tends to hide the geomorphological features and the natural deposits (Amorosi et al, 2013a;Bini et al, 2009Bini et al, , 2012aBini et al, , 2013Bruneton et al, 2001;De Smedt et al, 2013;Ghilardi and Desruelles, 2009;Marriner et al, 2012;Parker et al, 2008;Price et al, 2011).…”

Identification of Leveled Archeological Mounds (Höyük) in the Alluvial Plain of the Ceyhan River (Southern Turkey) by Satellite Remote-Sensing Analyses

“…A fundamental role in settlement distribution was probably associated with drainage network evolution and alluvial plain aggradation, as stated by classical authors (Strabo and Ptolemy), and later by Ramsay [38] and Russel [39], and currently by evidence in other areas of the Mediterranean [16,[20][21][22][25][26][27][28][29]40,41]. The mutations in the drainage network of the Ceyhan River plain are documented by old maps, and by old channel traces highlighted by means of remote-sensing analysis [42].…”
