Holocene coastline evolution in the northern area of the Guadalquivir palaeoestuary

In this article the theoretical framework and the results of my doctoral thesis La Transgresión Flandriense en la Vega de Sevilla. El paleoestuario del río Guadalquivir (The Flandrian Transgression in the alluvial plain near Seville. The Guadalquivir River palaeoestuary) (Barragán Mallofret, 2016a; 2016b) are presented, as well as a brief synthesis of the immediate research precedents about the Holocene evolution of the Guadalquivir estuary. The work includes the cartography of the palaeoestuary generated by the Flandrian transgression circa 6500 BP in the Guadalquivir valley, as well as a proposal about its siltation process. Moreover, the historical contextualization of this coastal landscape in the transition between the Neolithic tribal society and the initial classist society is also discussed.
