Journal Article
Forlin, P., Reicherter, K., Gerrard, C. M., Bailiff, I., & García Porras, A. (2024). Recovering a lost seismic disaster. The destruction of El Castillejo and the discovery of the earliest historic earthquake affecting the Granada region (Spain). PLoS ONE, 19(4), Article e0300549. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0300549

This paper discusses recent archaeological fieldwork conducted at El Castillejo, a medieval Islamic settlement in Los Guájares, Granada, southern Spain. Results from combined archaeological excavation and archaeoseismological assessment of standing s... Read More about Recovering a lost seismic disaster.

Assessing earthquake effects on archaeological sites: the employment of photogrammetry and 3D model analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Forlin, P., Valente, R., & Kázmér, M. (2018). Assessing earthquake effects on archaeological sites: the employment of photogrammetry and 3D model analysis. Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, 9, Article e00073. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.daach.2018.e00073

This paper evaluates the application of photogrammetric recording to seismically-affected archaeological sites from the moment of on-site data acquisition through to the analysis of the resulting 3D model. This methodology facilitates (i) rapid but a... Read More about Assessing earthquake effects on archaeological sites: the employment of photogrammetry and 3D model analysis.

The archaeology of earthquakes: The application of adaptive cycles to seismically-affected communities in late medieval Europe (2017)
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...
