![]() ![]() Probability distribution of 14C ages (Table 2) obtained from sequential radiocarbon dates automatically performed by the OxCal 3.10 Program (Bronk Ramsey, 1998). The calibrated dates (black) are presented with 1σ and 2σ age ranges (68.3% and 95.4% density, respectively). The age ranges of the seismic events (grey) are determined using the Bayesian distribution and related conditional probability imposed by the stratigraphic sequence, event horizons and 14C dating. Event V is, however, poorly constrained without the lower bound age. Nemer and Meghraoui (2006) |

![]() ![]() Schematic reconstruction of the palaeoseismic events as observed in the trench (Fig. 6a). Steps 1 to 12 illustrate the relationships between the 5 faulting episodes and successive alluvial-colluvial deposits. The white caliche units ( g and e) mark the stratigraphic succession and point out the rupture locations. Event Z is covered by unit a, which corresponds to a thick colluvial unit visible on the western edge of the trench. Nemer and Meghraoui (2006) |
