	abstract = {<div>A common feature of the coastal excavations in both Paros and Naxos is that of submerged antiquities and\&nbsp;collapsed hilltops into the sea. Beach rocks along the modern coastlines bear witness to the extent and depth of\&nbsp;ancient shores. The submerged antiquities of Paros include cemeteries of various time periods, harbor\&nbsp;installations and certain rock-cut features whose function is not yet interpreted with certainty. The archaeologists\&nbsp;who excavated Grotta and Aplomata on Naxos spoke of two seismic events; one at an early phase of the LH IIIA2\&nbsp;and another one at LH IIIC period. Indisputable evidence for those earthquakes offer two submerged tidal notches\&nbsp;found at a depth of {\textendash}3 m and {\textendash}2.5 m respectively. The tsunami that covered the northern part of the Hellenistic\&nbsp;Agora in the 2nd c. AD is additionally confirmed by a submerged tidal notch at a depth of {\textendash}1.70 m and dated shells\&nbsp;of Cerastoderma. The article proposes an entirely new perspective on the sea-level changes in Cyclades, which is\&nbsp;strictly based on archaeological stratification and sea-level indicators.</div>},
