Abstract
Detailed stratigraphical, archaeological, micropalaeontological, archaeometrical and petrochemical analyses of samples from trenches and boreholes at insula of Casti Amanti, in Pompeii, allowed a faithful reconstruction of the recent environmental evolution of the site. The present data clearly indicate the alternation of both subaerial and shallow marine conditions during Holocene times. Taking into account the relative local sea level variations, a similar to 30 m ground uplift event in the last 6 kyr (with an average vertical uplift rate of similar to 5 mm/yr) was inferred for the first time.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
