Geoarchaeology confirms location of the ancient harbour basin of Ostia (Italy)

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2014
To the northwest of the ancient city of Ostia, the analysis of cores revealed a stratigraphic sequence, which we interpret as the filling of a harbour basin. This basin, located at the west of the so-called "Palazzo Imperiale" presents seven characteristics: (1) The maximum depth is 6 m below the Roman sea level.

Palaeoenvironmental evolution of the ancient lagoon of Ostia Antica (Tiber delta, Italy)

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2015
The ancient lagoon of Ostia played a key role in the development of the cultures of central Italy and especially that of Rome. The evolution of its environmental history and its partial transformation into a saline body of water during Antiquity remain as poorly known to archaeologists and historians as to geologists and geographers.

Palynology and ostracodology at the Roman port of ancient Ostia (Rome, Italy)

Holocene, 2016
New detailed palynological and ostracodological analyses together with texture data from a sediment core drilled in Ostia Antica confirm the existence of the ancient Ostia harbour and its location by the Tiber River. Using the different proxies analysed in this work and chronologically framing the sediment record with three AMS radiocarbon dates, four ...

Evidence of seismic damages on ancient Roman buildings at Ostia: An arch mechanics approach

Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018
Abstract In this paper, we present archaeological evidence of seismic damage in the ancient Roman town of Ostia and we perform structural analysis on damaged buildings based on the application of the principles of arch mechanics, in order to provide an objective means to identify the seismogenic origin of the observed ruptures and collapses.

Abstract For the first time a skull belonging to an ancient Roman man has been discovered which exhibits bilateral aural exostoses. The skull having been found during an archaeological excavation at the “Baths of the Swimmer” in ancient Ostia, the possible relationship between aural exostoses and swimming is discussed.

Temple-complex post-dates tsunami deposits found in the ancient harbour basin of Ostia (Rome, Italy)

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2015
Abstract Detailed geophysical and geoarchaeological investigations carried out in Ostia, ancient harbour of Rome, revealed two different generations of harbour basins and also proved the repeated impact of high-energy wave events on the study area. West of Ostia, at the southern bank of the Tiber, a lagoonal harbour existed from the 4th and 2nd cent.

Historical faulting as the possible cause of earthquake damages in the ancient Roman port city of Ostia

Journal of Seismology, 2019
This paper presents an original multidisciplinary (geological-structural-geomorphological and seismological) study aimed at investigating the origin of diffused seismic damages affecting several ancient buildings in the Roman port city of Ostia. We also evaluate the possibility to relate these damages to a previously hypothesized ENE-WSW trending fault,

The Tiber river delta plain (central Italy): Coastal evolution and implications for the ancient Ostia Roman settlement

Holocene, 2011
Geomorphologic, stratigraphic, faunistic, palynological and carbon isotope analyses were carried out in the area of the Tiber river mouth. The results depict a complex palaeoenvironmental evolution in the area of the Roman town of Ostia, ascertain the changes of the Tiber river delta over the last 6000 years and support a re-interpretation of some ...
