Sažetak
Changes in sea levels are a constant process for
which confirmations can be found in many geological,
geomorphological, biological and ecological indicators,
and in numerous archaeological and historical
sources. The study of these changes makes it possible
to reconstruct coastlines and other geomorphological
features of specific coastal landscapes during various
periods. Geological, biological, archaeological and
other indicators provide data on the relative sea-level
changes, i.e., on the interaction between sea and land
in specific periods and in specific places. They are the
sum of eustatic, tectonic and glacio- and hydro-isostatic
factors and, consequently, of global, regional
and local phenomena. This work concisely presents the complex topic of sea-level change over the course
of the past, with the objective of bringing together
all experts who do not directly deal with it but nonetheless
encounter this problem during archaeological
research at the shoreline and submerged sites.
