	abstract = {<p>The coastal area of the Vravron Bay, in the vicinity of the homonym archaeological site, is a marshy plain\&nbsp;located on the eastern part of the Attica Peninsula (eastern Greece). In order to provide evidence for\&nbsp;palaeoenvironmental changes and landscape evolution of the area, detailed micropaleontological,\&nbsp;palynological and sedimentological analyses have been conducted at the underlying Late Holocene\&nbsp;coastal deposits. The recovered sediments (lithostratigraphic Units A{\textendash}D) represent a continuous record of\&nbsp;the environmental history of the area since the Early Bronze Age, covering all subsequent historical\&nbsp;periods. The base of the recovered deposits is older than the 3rd millennium BC. Until late medieval\&nbsp;times, the studied sequence contains plenty evidence for the existence of the natural port reported from\&nbsp;the Mycenaean (lithostratigraphic Unit A), that infilled after repeated flooding events during the Classic\&nbsp;period (lithostratigraphic Unit B) and gradually developed into a shallower marine environment (lithostratigraphic\&nbsp;Unit C). In the uppermost part of the sequence (lithostratigraphic unit D), a transition\&nbsp;towards brackish environment with intense fresh water input is featured around 1540 AD. Signs of\&nbsp;human agricultural activities in Vravron appear since 3000 BC (Early Bronze Age) and are linked to the\&nbsp;history of inhabitation in the area.</p>},
