Stable or mobile sea-level, stable or mobile Sardinia during the Holocene: evidence from the Cagliari Gulf

The new Sheet “557” Cagliari (CARG Project) produced a map of the Quaternary Syntems, however the results of the new radiometric datings were not exhaustive and sometimes contradictory. The groups working on continental and marine areas reached different conclusions on the chronology of the deposits: some coastal deposits have been included in the subsynthem of Cala Mosca (Tyrrhenian) although we should refer them to the Holocene. However, the distribution of the Tyrrhenian deposits was reduced and the Is Arenas beach ridge grouped within the Holocene. We report the elements supporting a Holocene age for the coastal deposits.
