Garth tsunami
- ... that mass burials in the Orkney and Shetland Islands might host fatalities of a tsunami 5500 years ago? "In the Northern Hemisphere, we investigate palaeotsunami inundation as an alternative hypothesis for mass burial sites in Orkney and Shetland, a relatively tectonically inactive region where such an association is unlikely to have ever been considered. The nature, chronology and location of these mass burial sites fit well with the proposed archaeological evidence for palaeotsunami inundation, and they also appear to be contemporaneous with the as-yet poorly documented Garth tsunami"

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I have added ALT1 because "host" does not seem quite the right word. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
