Here, historical documents and geological records have been combined to reconstruct Caspian sea-level (CSL) changes during the last millennium.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. STUDY NOTES: additional information, not in the publication, for circle points in fig. 9 Year (AD) CSL Reference Explanation 1100-1125 <-25 Varushchenko et al. 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. When we plot other results from Karpychev (1998, 2001), all the graphs meet each other in -25 m in 1825 NCDC-Paleoclimatology https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/paleoclimatology-data - Bauer Bruce Investigator : Naderi Beni, A.
