Event Y
Sbeinati et al. (2010) documented Event Y in
negative flower structures exposed in
Trenches A and C at the al-Harif displaced aqueduct site, placing the
event between 540 and 810 CE. Archaeoseismic
evidence from cement and
tufa cores
supports this interval and indicates that Event Y
followed the first aqueduct repair episode caused by
Event X. Bayesian modeling of radiocarbon results
further refined its age to 625–690 CE.
Sbeinati et al. (2010) estimated that Events Y and Z caused ~9.3 meters of left lateral offset
at the aqueduct.
