Description
Modern earthquake catalogues have been found unreliable in reporting earthquakes which occurred before 1900, because of a series of errors perpetuated at second and third hand. A new study of the original records provides significant data relating earthquake activity in the Eastern Mediterranean basin with plate tectonic activity over the past 2,000 years.
