	abstract = {<div>Sea level indicators, such as tidal notches and beachrocks, may provide valuable\&nbsp;information for the relative sea level changes of an area. Beachrocks in particular have\&nbsp;received various arguments concerning their use as reliable sea level indicators and\&nbsp;their formation environment. This work focuses on the coasts of East Attica in order to\&nbsp;trace the palaeoshorelines of the Upper Holocene through the study of beachrocks. The\&nbsp;coastal zone was surveyed in detail by snorkelling and diving, in order to locate, map\&nbsp;and sample beachrocks. The samples were studied under a SEM, which showed that the\&nbsp;beachrocks are mainly composed of quartz grains, a few calcites and feldspars, while\&nbsp;the carbonate cement is characterized with the presence of MgO at percentages between\&nbsp;5 and 7.8\%. Based on correlations with published drillings in the study area, the studied\&nbsp;beachrocks should not be older than 2000 years BP.</div>},
