Summary of OSL ages (black circles with error bars) plotted in chronological order and selected historical earthquakes suggested as rockfall triggers (shown as vertical gray lines, chronologically labeled at the top axis); see text for details.

Orthophoto map of the study area (black rectangle). The rockfall source, the Ein El Assad Formation (EEA), is marked by a blue line and the town border by a red dashed line. The yellow rectangle marks the location of block 016 shown in Fig. 2

Fig. 4-7Qiryat-Shemona OSL ages and suggested rockfall triggers. OSL age results for the past 8000 years in black circles with error bars; ages of earthquakes determined by Yagoda et al. (2007) in gray diamonds and by Kagan et al. (2005) in gray triangle; corresponding dates of earthquakes suggested as rockfall triggers in gray lines and labeled at top axis (see Table 4-2). QS-2 (55.7±7.6 ka) excluded from graph for very large uncertainty range.

Table 4-1Rockfall Triggering Candidate Large Scale Historical Earthquakes
Two large earthquakes, 1759 AD and 1837 AD, are excluded from the table since no block was dated to later than 1300 AD (including uncertainty range).

The source for rockfalls, the cliff of the Ein El Assad Formation, at the back and a rock block at its stop site. This large boulder, ~41 m3, is block no. 016 (Table 3), under which sample QS-11 for OSL age determination was excavated. Photo taken from east to west showing the source of rockfall in the background. The location of the block in the photo is plotted as a yellow rectangle in Fig. 1.
