Abstract
Uplift data based on radiometric and archaeological dating are being used to trace the tectonic history of the eastern Mediterranean. In the Gulf of Corinth new U-series and 14 C ages suggest that there is an upper limit to coseismic uplift on both main and antithetic normal faults and that distributed extension develops serially. U-series and 14 C dates from southwestern Cyprus support geomorphological and archaeological evidence for Late Quaternary southward tilting of the island.Keywords
