In this paper, we use sedimentological and palaeontological proxies of late\ Holocene\ coastal deposits from lagoonal environment to reconstruct the evolution of\ coastal landscapes\ in Paroikia Bay (Paros Island, Greece). A semi-enclosed\ lagoon\ existed in the northeastern part of Paroikia from at least 2915{\textendash}2551 BC, which was gradually infilled after around 780{\textendash}436 BC. Although it was not possible to chronologically constrain the timing of the infill, it is most likely relatively young, indicating anthropogenic effects. A correlation of our chronostratigraphic data with archaeological remains and tidal notches in the study area suggests that the\ subsidence\ observed on Paros Island is linked to long-term subsidence in combination with vertical seismic displacements.}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S163107131830052X}, author = {Karkani, A. and Evelpidou, N. and Giaime, M. and Marriner, N. and Maroukian, H. and Morhange, C.} }
