Abstract
The relationships between the land and sea in the northern Adriatic at the Pleistocene - Holocene boundary are examined by considering sea-l evel curves and archaeological data. Changes in the Mesolithic (Early Holocene) economy of the inhabitants can be interpreted as a result of palaeoecological variations due to glacioecustatic sea-level changes and recent tectonics. This hypothesis is also supported by evidence of older tectonic movements which may have continued until the end of th e Pleistocene.
