8000 years of coastal changes on a western Mediterranean island: A multiproxy approach from the Posada plain of Sardinia

A multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental investigation was conducted to reconstruct the Holocene history of coastal
landscape change in the lower Posada coastal plain of eastern Sardinia. In the Mediterranean region, coastal
modifications during the Holocene have been driven by a complex interplay between climate, geomorphological
processes and human activity. In this paper, millennial-scale human-sea level-environment interactions are investigated
near Posada, one of the largest coastal plains in eastern Sardinia. Biostratigraphic and palynological
