Tfocuses on multidisciplinary research in “Mari- Maritime Archaeology Periodical

time Geoarcheology”, continuing the focus of the latest
issue in 2019. The previous issue included results from
multidisciplinary studies and discussions that both meth-
odologically and theoretically combine archaeology and
geology. Within this context, submerged ancient coastal
and harbor settlements and the impact of sea level chang-
es on these settlements were discussed. With issues 11
and 12, for the first time in a journal published in Turkey,
we have created a special volume on geoarchaeological
studies carried out by researchers who are experts in
their field. SAYI 11 ÖN
