Journal Article
Forlin, P., & Gerrard, C. (2017). The archaeology of earthquakes: The application of adaptive cycles to seismically-affected communities in late medieval Europe. Quaternary International, 446, 95-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2017.06.030

The study of archaeseismology (or ‘earthquake archaeology’) focuses mainly on the analysis of earthquakes at an archaeological scale, either in order to reconstruct the parameters of past seismic events (ie. their intensity, chronology, magnitude, ep...

Exploring representativeness and reliability for late medieval earthquakes in Europe (2016)
Journal Article
Forlin, P., Gerrard, C., & Petley, D. (2016). Exploring representativeness and reliability for late medieval earthquakes in Europe. Natural Hazards, 84(3), 1625-1636. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-016-2502-y

Seismic catalogues of past earthquakes have compiled a substantial amount of information about historical seismicity for Europe and the Mediterranean. Using two of the most recent European seismic databases (AHEAD and EMEC), this paper employs GIS sp...

This paper introduces the research of the Armedea project. Armedea (Archaeology of medieval earthquakes in Europe, 1000-1550 AD) is a medieval archaeology project undertaken at the Department of Archaeology of Durham University which analyses archaeo...
