Abstract

The authors combined geological, geodetic and archaeological shore displacement evidence to create a temporal and spatial water-level change model for the SW Estonian coast of the Baltic Sea since 13,300 cal. years BP. The Baltic Sea shoreline database for Estonian territory was used for the modelling work and contained about 1,200 sites from the Baltic Ice Lake, Ancylus Lake and Littorina Sea stages. This database was combined with a shore displacement curve from the Pärnu area (in SW Estonia) and with geodetic relative sea-level data for the last century. The curve was reconstructed on the basis of palaeocoastline elevations and radiocarbon-dated peat and soil sequences and ecofacts from archaeological sites recording three regressive phases of the past Baltic Sea, interrupted by Ancylus Lake and Littorina Sea transgressions with magnitudes of 12 and 10 m, respectively. A water-level change model was applied together with a digital terrain model in order to reconstruct coastline change in the region and to examine the relationships between coastline change and displacement of the Stone Age human settlements that moved in connection with transgressions and regressions on the shifting coastline of the Baltic Sea.
