Where is the Phoenician harbour of Tyre?
Résumé
The renowned Phoenician city of Tyre (Lebanon) is one of the finest examples of major changes triggered by the
construction of a causeway affecting the development of its harbours. Building sustainable ports along coastlines is
a difficult endeavour because coastlines are among the most rapidly changing landscapes on Earth. This challenge is
faced worldwide today. Besides, the erection of coastal structures alters coastal dynamics in such a way that new
structures tend to affect earlier constructions. The study of ancient harbours shows that it has been a nagging
problem in coastal management since Antiquity. Investigating ancient cases is interesting because it provides more
time depth into these changes than the modern cases, owing to the centuries of coastal changes that have elapsed
since the structures started to alter their environment.
