The archaeological survey at Abdera and Xanthi 2015-2019: long-term analysis of colonial relations in Thrace

Mercourios Georgiadis et al.

Summary: This paper presents the preliminary results of the APAX project, a systematic regional survey conducted in Greek Thrace using intensive pedestrian sample collection. The research investigated different landscape settings in the Xanthi area and developed different collection strategies based on the visibility conditions of the study areas. The results provided quantitative and qualitative spatial data on the distribution of ancient activities, particularly during the Archaic and Classical periods, and allowed for an assessment of the Greek colonists and indigenous Thracians.

The Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Cadiz as a natural laboratory for paleotsunami research: Recent advancements

P. M. De Martini et al.

Summary: The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunamis stimulated new research in tsunami-related fields globally and in the Mediterranean region. This growth in research led to significant advancements in tsunami knowledge, particularly in the field of "Paleotsunami" research for reconstructing the tsunami history of a region. Through integrating historical documentation and geological records, insights were gained into the occurrence, characteristics, and impact of past tsunamis.

Anthropogenic amplification of geomorphic processes along the Mediterranean coasts: A case-study from the Graeco-Roman town of Elea-Velia (Campania, Italy)

Vincenzo Amato et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the relationship between geological and archaeological evidence in the development and decline of the coastal town of Elea-Velia, highlighting coastal progradation and alluvial fan deposition as main environmental changes leading to its abandonment. The neglect in managing hillslopes, along with declining harbour activities, also played a role in the town's final abandonment.

Using a multi-proxy approach to locate the elusive Phoenician/Persian anchorage of Tel Akko (Israel)

Matthieu Giaime et al.

Summary: Previous geoarchaeological research on the Akko coastal plain have contributed to the understanding of ancient anchorages and environmental changes. The new research highlights the Phoenician/Persian maritime interface of Tel Akko, the water depth, and the impact of sediment deposition on access to the sea.

Tracing woody-organic tsunami deposits of the 2011 Tohoku-oki event in Misawa (Japan)

Piero Bellanova et al.

Summary: The 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami caused massive damage along the northern Japanese Aomori coast, with the coastal control area being inundated up to 550 m inland. A previously undocumented woody-organic tsunami deposit was discovered, improving understanding of the documented part of the tsunami inundation and reducing underestimation.

Wind Climate and Wind Power Resource Assessment Based on Gridded Scatterometer Data: A Thracian Sea Case Study

Nikolaos Kokkos et al.

Summary: This study analyzed wind energy data from the Thracian Sea between 2011 and 2019, with results showing that the Lemnos Plateau has the highest total wind energy content and the area to the SW of the Dardanelles exhibits the highest wind energy capacity, suitable for wind energy production.

Mid- to late-Holocene sea-level evolution of the northeastern Aegean sea

Martin Seeliger et al.

Summary: By combining various analyses, a new understanding of sea-level evolution in the northeastern Aegean Sea has been achieved, with a focus on a new typology of sea-level index points based on foraminiferal associations. The study confirms previous sea-level history in the region and highlights the significant role of geological structures in controlling millennial-scale sea-level evolution.

Discovery of a tsunami deposit from the Bronze Age Santorini eruption at Malia (Crete): impact, chronology, extension

Laurent Lespez et al.

Summary: The geomorphological survey conducted near the Minoan town of Malia in Crete revealed evidence of a tsunami reaching the Palatial center as a result of the Bronze Age Santorini eruption, inundating up to 400 meters inland. The sediment cores confirmed a unique erosional event during the Late Minoan period, followed by a high energy sand unit containing marine fauna. This opens up new research opportunities regarding the impact and consequences of the Bronze Age Santorini tsunami on the Minoan civilization.

Geoarchaeological and Paleo-Hydrological Overview of the Central-Western Mediterranean Early Neolithic Human-Environment Interactions

Jean-Francois Berger

Summary: Archaeologist-neolithicists are still debating the impact of climate change, with a need for further research on its exact chronology and effects. High chronological resolution and comparative approach are essential for studying the causality of socio-environmental processes during Neolithisation. Off-site geoarchaeological and paleoenvironmental methods offer new research perspectives to address these issues.
