Seismic catastrophes in historical times in Arabia – Destruction of the city of Qalhat (Oman) in the 16th century
The Arabian Peninsula is surrounded by seismically highly active plate margins, while the interior seems to be free from destructive earthquakes. We report two historical earthquakes in Qalhat, Oman, >300 km from any plate boundary and provide archaeoseismological analysis of ruined buildings. The first quake hit the city in 1497 AD with an intensity VII at most; the community survived and damage was repaired. The second event caused total devast…
Collapse of Holocene mangrove ecosystems along the coastline of Oman
Sedimentological, geochemical, and paleontological investigations of the coastline of northeastern Oman have provided the authors with an in-depth insight into Holocene sea levels and climate conditions. The spatial distribution and species assemblage of mangrove ecosystems are analyzed. These ecosystems are sensitive to changes in sea level and precipitation and thus reflect ecological conditions. The close proximity to archaeological sites allo…
Biological Indicators Reveal Small-Scale Sea-Level Variability During MIS 5e (Sur, Sultanate of Oman)
The harbour city Sur is located at the northeastern coastline of Oman on a Holocene barrier spit that separates a 6 km2 sized lagoon from the Gulf of Oman. Around the margins of this lagoon a paleo coastal notch occurs 3.75 m above mean sea-level (MSL). The notch contains exceptionally well preserved bioerosional features. Additionally, on several locations coastal notches without bioerosional features occur. At one location a beachrock is found …
Geoarchaeological Evidence for the Decline of the Medieval City of Qalhat, Oman
The medieval city of Qalhat was an important trade town along the sea routes in the Indian Ocean. The reasons for the decline of the city are unclear, as the archaeological evidence is inconclusive. Geological field work was conducted and a digital elevation model analysed to test the hypothesis that the city was destroyed by an earthquake. The study area is located along the passive continental margin of the Arabian Plate. The coast shows a set …
