Abstract

The Makran is the location of ancient civilizations and one of the most important tsunamigenic zones in the world. Historical and instrumental records indicate the occurrence of large earthquakes on the main Makran fault and the resulting tsunamis but the accuracy of a number of these has been questioned. Geological and tectonics studies alone cannot confirm the occurrence of paleo-tsunamis. Archaeological data showing the collapse of the ancient civilizations along with geological records of paleo-tsunami can be of great help to have a better understanding this phenomenon in the future. The interaction of geology and archaeology can lead to a re-reading of the history of tsunamis which have influenced coastal civilizations, so provide a better estimate of the occurrence of tsunamis and their catastrophe in the future. Thus, to assess the environmental causes for the collapse of the ancient civilizations in the Makran shoreline, it is necessary to support geoarchaeological studies.
