The poster describes an original numerical model based on the energy flux applied by the wave motion to the coastline where the archaeological site of Egnathia (Apulian Adriatic coast) is located. The remnants of the ancient port are actually submerged. The correlation among the model results, the geological set up, the amount of sediments moved by wave actions and currents, particularly during storms, and the chronological data of the archaeological structures allow the reconstruction of the morphological evolution of the area facing the ancient site of Egnathia. A section of the study deals with the sediment transport and its relationship with the climate change conditions.

Abstract
The poster describes an original numerical model based on the energy flux applied by the wave motion to the coastline where the archaeological site of Egnathia (Apulian Adriatic coast) is located. The remnants of the ancient port are actually submerged. The correlation among the model results, the geological set up, the amount of sediments moved by wave actions and currents, particularly during storms, and the chronological data of the archaeological structures allow the reconstruction of the morphological evolution of the area facing the ancient site of Egnathia. A section of the study deals with the sediment transport and its relationship with the climate change conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
