Abstract
Over the past two decades, historical extreme wave events have occupied an important place on the research agenda. The succession of these types of events and their impact on coastal populations is currently an interestingline of research, in which archaeological and geological studies should be performed together. There are increasingly more studies in this regard, which are of special interest in understanding coastal settlements and theirtransformations and economic development throughout different historical periods. Accordingly, this paper reviews the tsunami evidence (archaeology, economy, sedimentology, palaeontology and dating) on the southernseaboard of Spain, specifically on the coast of Huelva, during the third and fourth centuries AD.
