An international team led by the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) has just published a paper in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews reconstructing episodes of highstands of the Black Sea during the last glacial period, based on the analysis of coastal terraces in the eastern Sinop Peninsula (Turkey). These findings reveal alternating connections of the Black Sea with the Mediterranean and the Caspian Sea, refining the history of its highstands during the Late Pleistocene.
