A spectacular earthquake struck the southern margin of the Iberian Peninsula and part of the western fringe of North Africa in 881 AD. Historical sources suggest it was followed by a tsunami. However, the origin and characteristics of this event are yet to be determined. We present evidence, both historical and geo-archaeological, of a tsunami and outline the characteristics for the catastrophe. The presence of a sedimentary layer rich in marine and continental materials, appears to be of a tsunami backwash artifact, and in addition to archaeological remains, provides compelling data supporting our present study. |
