Abstract

During the Late Pleistocene and Holocene periods, the Italian coasts have undergone a very articulated geological and geomorphological evolution, due to the complex and differentiated interaction of endogenous and exogenous dynamics. Aim of this study is to implement a geodatabase concerning the geomorphological, stratigraphic, biological and archaeological palaeo sea-level proxies located in the Gulf of Naples, in order to provide a catalogue of the most representative markers and an overall picture of ancient shorelines positions since the Late Pleistocene.
