Abstract
The 1965 and 1987 curves of relative sea-level (RSL) change for the Eastern Shore of Virginia differ markedly from similar curves for Delaware, New Jersey and New England. The latter show a rapid and continuous RSL rise between 6000 and 3000 or 2000 yrs B.P., whereas the curves for the Eastern Shore of Virginia suggest a sea-level lowering between 5100 and 4400 yrs B.P. or a marked retardation between 4700 (or earlier) and 4000 yrs B.P. New radiocarbon dates on high marsh basal peat samples from the Eastern Shore of Virginia indicate, however, a mid-Holocene rate of RSL rise similar to that indicated by the other regional curves.
