Ancient Lead Pollution in the Aegean: 5,200-Year Record of Human Impact

A research team discovered the oldest recorded anthropogenic lead pollution in Philippi Wetlands (5,200 years ago) and the first large-scale ancient maritime lead pollution in the Aegean Sea (2,150 years ago), linking these findings to ancient Greek and Roman resource exploitation and societal chang...

How did the Roman expansion influence lead pollution levels in the Aegean Sea, and what additional environmental changes accompanied this period?

The study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, analyzed sediment cores from the Aegean Sea and Philippi Wetlands. Increased lead pollution around 2,150 years ago, correlating with Roman expansion, signifies large-scale ancient maritime lead pollution. Pollen analysis revealed deforestation at lower altitudes and increased agriculture during this period, indicating significant societal changes and environmental impact.

What are the underlying geological factors contributing to the increased seismic activity in the Girit-Rodos arc region?

The northward movement of the African plate pushes against Anatolia, causing stress that is periodically released through smaller earthquakes. This tectonic pressure, ongoing for millions of years at a rate of 3-5 cm annually, has created a high-risk zone in the Girit-Rodos arc. The recent increase in seismic activity in Muğla, concentrated along the Gökova fault line, highlights this heightened risk.
