Varushchenko et al. (1987) findings, based on # -1987 dating, are more compatible with our findings # in this paper than Bruckner (1890) or # Karpychev (1998, 2001) historical evidence. # 1425-1450 -26 Varushchenko et al. These 2 papers support each other while the # -1987 findings of Bruckner (1890) seem to be # Karpychev (1998, 2001) overestimated. I have chosen the overlapped # years, reported by the researchers for this # time. (the extended timeframe is 1350-1478 # AD for -26) # 1680 <-24 Bruckner (1890) All the graphs of the referenced authors meet # Karpychev (1998, 2001) each other in this time that support Komarova # Varushchenko et al. (1980) sea level curve for this period. # -1987 # 1700 <-26 Bruckner (1890) The reported sea level is around the same for # Karpychev (1998, 2001) this time by different researchers. Moreover, # Fedchina (1980) this is supported by the findings of Fedchina # Komarova (1980) (1980) and Komarova (1980). # 1740 >-23 Bruckner (1890) There is a good agreement between different # Karpychev (1998, 2001) researchers on CSL in this time based on # Fedchina (1980) different approaches # Komarova (1980) # 1775-1790 <-22 Bruckner (1890) In addition to the references, Karpychev # Varushchenko et al. (1998, 2001) indicated CSL for 1770-1790 # -1987 and 1790-1810 as -25 and -22, respectively. # Komarova (1980) According to radiocarbon dating method and # its errors, I have preferred to choose the -22 # CSL for this time. # 1825 >-25 Bruckner (1890) Bruckner (1890) indicated CSL as -25.8 m in # Varushchenko et al. 1825 and Varushchenko et al. (1987) indicated # -1987 the CSL -25 in 1825-1826.

Here, historical documents and geological records have been combined to reconstruct Caspian sea-level (CSL) changes during the last millennium. In addition to a comprehensive literature review, new data from two short sediment cores were obtained from the south-eastern Caspian coast to identify coastal change driven by water-level changes and to compare the results with other geological and historical findings. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #--------------------------------------- # Site Information # Site_Name: Caspian Sea # Northernmost_Latitude: 47 # Southernmost_Latitude: 34 # Easternmost_Longitude: 55 # Westernmost_Longitude: 46 # Elevation: -27 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Caspian Sea Level NB13 # First_Year: 1300 # Last_Year: 1875 # Time_Unit: AD # Core_Length: # Notes: the study extends further back in time, but the data are not submitted here yet #--------------------------------------- # Chronology: #--------------------------------------- # Variables ## age_AD Age,,,AD,,,,,N ## sealev sea level relative to modern,,, m,,lake level,,,C ## hist_obs historical observation,,, ,,lake level,,,C ## geo_event geological event,,, ,,lake level,,,C ## notes notes,,, ,,,,,C #--------------------------------------- # Data # Missing Value: n/a age_AD sealev hist_obs geo_event notes 1304 -19 Rapid sea-level rise High-stand Point on figure 9 in paper: 6 1425 -26 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1450 -26 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1587 -28 Construction of Safavid castle in Derbent n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: 7 1628 -23 Establishment of ports and structures along the Caspian Sea coast Sea-level rise and barrier formation Point on figure 9 in paper: 8 1680 <-24 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1700 <-26 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1740 >-23 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1771 -23 Sea-level rise Widespread evidence Point on figure 9 in paper: 9 1775 <-22 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1790 <-22 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1815 -23.5 Sea-level position in GalugŻah and GomishŻan Anzali Spit broken into barriers Point on figure 9 in paper: 10 1825 >-25 n/a n/a Point on figure 9 in paper: circle 1875 -25 Sea-level rise at Anzali royal tower KarŻa BogŻaz Gol Point on figure 9 in paper: 11
