FIRST RESULTS ON THE COASTAL CHANGES RELATED TO LOCAL SEA LEVEL VARIATIONS ALONG THE PUTEOLI SECTOR (CAMPI FLEGREI, ITALY) DURING THE HISTORICAL TIMES

Abstract

Puteoli coastal sector is located in the Campi Flegrei volcanic area, along the Mediterranean coasts. This sector is rich in archaeological remains here used as sea-level markers useful to reconstruct the vertical ground movements affecting the CF area. Marine surveys by means of an Unmanned Surface Vessel equipped with geophysical instruments were carried out along the coastal sector to reconstruct the seabed morphology and to detect the submerged remains. By analysing geomorphological stratigraphic and archaeological data, the natural and anthropogenic landscape evolution of Puteoli since the Greek-Roman period was evaluated.
