Morhange et al. (2006b:91) state that "tectonic uplift of the coastal areas" took place around 3000 years BP, corresponding approximately to the 11th century BCE (Pirazzoli 2005; Morhange et al., submitted). Morhange et al. (2006a:112) likewise report that "seismotectonic displacement(s)" uplifted the northern Levantine coast "around 3000 BP," with the amplitude of uplift progressively decreasing from levantine Turkey toward southern Lebanon. Morhange et al. (2006a:111) further note that on the Syrian coast an uplifted shoreline occurs between "+0.7 and +2.8 m and is dated to ca. 2900–2800 BP (Dalongeville et al., 1993)," while in the Orontes delta region of Turkey the coast was uplifted by approximately "+2 m around 3000 BP (Pirazzoli et al., 1991)." They add that "south of Lebanon, from Israel to Gaza and the Sinai, no evidence is found for an elevated shoreline above present MSL (Galili et al., 1998; Sivan et al., 2001)," indicating that "only the northern Levant coast was uplifted around 3000 BP."
