Coastal geoarchaeology of Apollonia Pontica (Bulgaria)

Résumé

Multidisciplinary geoarchaeological investigation of the ancient Greek colony of Apollonia Pontica (Sozopol, Bulgaria) has been a key research field for the French-Bulgarian archaeological collaboration started in 2002 by the Centre Camille Jullian with the Archaeological Institute and Museum of Sofia and the Archaeological Museum of Sozopol. The main objective of this project was to reconstruct the geomorphological evolution of this coastal area of Apollonia and the palaeoenvironmental context of the necropolis at Kalfata. Particular attention was paid to the location of the ancient harbours of the city, a question directly linked with the chronology of the sandy isthmus between the historical peninsula and the continent. These studies clearly demonstrate that the region of Apollonia, like the entire Bulgarian coast, does not attest to sea-level oscillations. On the contrary, the important coastal regularisation by infilling of the bays and the formation of a tombolo, such as at Sozopol, reflect the modest role of sea level and the high sedimentary inputs at base level.
