Abstract
[Resumen] Se aborda la reconstrucción y evolución del entorno físico de la zona próxima al conjunto arqueológico greco-romano de Empuries. La combinación de los datos arqueológicos y geomorfológicos aporta nuevas perspectivas en los dos campos. Al inicio de la colonización la cota se situaba más al interior y presentaba una morfología irregular con acantilados e islotes. Posteriormente se produce una progradación y una regularización de la costa, con un predominio de sedimentos arenosos. Este cambio se interpreta como consecuencia de un descenso del nivel del mar y un cambio del uso del suelo. Esta progradación hacia el E conlleva una movilización de arenas hacia el S, que a su vez puede relacionarse con los desplazamientos de los distintos núcleos de población de Empuries
[Abstract] This paper envisages the reconstruction and evolution of the physical environment of the Empurias archeological site and adjoining area. The combination of archeological and geomorphological data provides new insights in both fields. In the early ages of colonization the coast was situated more inland and showed an irregular morphology with cliffs and small islands.The lowereing of the sea and a change of land use caused later coast progradation and regularization with a predominance of sandy sediments. Eastwards progradation is linked to southwards sandy-dune transporte The moving off of different archeological sites in Empuries can be related to the above mentioned sandy-dune transporte
