Mesokambos is an alluvial valley situated on the outskirts of Pythagorion, a town built on top of the&amp;nbsp;ancient town of Samos which is believed to be inhabitant since at least the Late Neolithic period (4th millennium&amp;nbsp;BC). Archaeological evidences indicate that the present morphology is associated with recent coastal subsidence&amp;nbsp;which comes in contrast with the uplift of the North West coastal area of Samos Island.&amp;nbsp;For the purposes of this study detailed geomorphological mapping, paleontological, sedimentological and&amp;nbsp;radiocarbon dating analyses of the Late Holocene coastal zone were conducted. The study of sea-land interactions&amp;nbsp;during Upper Holocene, in relation to the eustatic sea level rise, as well as the geomorphologic observations and&amp;nbsp;analyses on deposited sediments, aims to reveal the palaeogeographical evolution of the landscape.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;To obtain information about the Holocene stratigraphy under the recent alluvial cover, eight boreholes followed&amp;nbsp;the detailed geomorphological mapping. The paleontological analysis took place and ten samples of plants, shells,&amp;nbsp;peat and charred material were also collected from several layers of the sedimentary sequence and were dated&amp;nbsp;using AMS radiocarbon techniques providing temporal control of the sediments.&amp;nbsp;In this study the tracing of the diachronic palaeo-shoreline shift due to the sea level change and its effect to the&amp;nbsp;palaeo-environment in the south-eastern part of Samos Island was attempted. Sea level changes along with local&amp;nbsp;conditions have been studied and the palaeogeographical evolution of the last 6.500 has been verified.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
