MINOS-MINOPOULOS, D., PAVLOPOULOS, K., LEKKAS, E., DOMINEY-HOWES, D. (2015). – Earthquake Archaeological Effects (EAEs) from the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth, Greece and their correlation to seismic events. Proceedings of the 6th International Meeting on Paleoseismology, Active Tectonics and Archaeoseismology, 19-24 April 2015, Pescina, Fucino Basin, Italy, 309-312.
The archaeological site of Ancient Corinth preserves potential Earthquake Archaeological Effects (EAEs) that according to their classification in relation to intensity intervals are indicative of minimum EMS-98 intensities that range from VII to IX. Historical and instrumental seismicity records, historical archives of drawings and photographs and damage records from the earthquakes of 1858 and 1928 were investigated in an attempt to correlate recorded potential EAEs and relative minimum intensities with seismic events. The study gave the opportunity to verify the applicability of the EAEs classification in relation to the proposed intensity intervals for the earthquake of 1858, to suggest candidate EAEs for rock-hewn monuments and to suggest that the site suffered repeatedly from earthquakes of EMS-98 intensities of VII to VIII and potentially from more than one seismic events of minimum EMS -98 intensity of IX.
