Abstract

In the Aegean region it is usually accepted that uplift is confined to the southern areas, near the outer island arc, whereas subsidence prevails in the inner basin areas. However, we give evidence of elevated notches and Lithophaga shells, dated by AMS 14C, showing that Holocene coseismic uplift of the order of about a metre occurred in inner Aegean areas too and affected parts of the coasts of north and central Euboea Island between 510 and 380 B.C. and also possibly between 1050 and 900 B.C.
