Arsalan Othman - Iraq Geological Survey DETERMINATION OF THE ANCIENT SHORELINE AND ANTHROPOGENIC SITES USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES Besides the neotectonic and erosional activities, the sea level could be changed as a result of climate fluctuations. It is the case of the Gulf sea level, which changed during the geological evolution of the Tigris–Euphrates delta in the Holocene epoch. Several researches proposed that the shoreline of the Gulf was about 260 and 270 km north of the present-day shoreline at 6000 yr. BP. If so, the Ur, Uruk, Lagash, Girsu, Bad-tibira, Larsa, Eridu, and Susa would have been covered by the seawater, which is not the fact. On other hand, these researchers agreed that these sites are coastal cities. This study comes to modify the previous shoreline suggestion and give visualization to the boundaries of the Gulf shoreline during the Sumerian period using remote sensing and GIS techniques. Moreover, we used the same techniques to detect anthropogenic sites. This study h
