ABSTRACT TWENTY-THREE archaeological sites on the east and south-east coast of the Peloponnese have been studied to determine the relative change of sea level at each site and the date of
the latest occupation. One site was uplifted, one undisplaced, seventeen submerged and four unproved (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The displaced sites were at widely differing depths, and there was
no simple correlation between age and depth, or location and depth. It has been widely supposed, though on no certain evidence, that the Peloponnese is tilting downwards as a semi-rigid
block to the south, about a hinge-line at the Gulf of Corinth, but the evidence does not support this. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
