TLDR
In this paper, an original review of both the geo-scientific and archaeological data that specifically relate to sea-level changes and resulting impacts on both physical and cultural landscapes from the Palaeolithic until the emergence of the Classical periods is presented.About:

Alluvial Fans and Megafans Along the Southern Side of the Alps
Alessandro Fontana,Paolo Mozzi +1 more
TL;DR: The foreland basin of the southern European Alps is characterized by large fan-shaped alluvial systems fed by the main montane valleys and these depositional systems present an extent of 300-3000 km2, with a length of 30-70 km as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that, in Atlantic Iberia's coastal settings, Middle Paleolithic Neanderthals exploited marine resources at a scale on par with the modern human–associated Middle Stone Age of southern Africa, and shell middens rich in the remains of mollusks, crabs, and fish, as well as terrestrial food items are revealed at the Figueira Brava site.

Relative sea level in the Western Mediterranean basin: A regional test of the ICE-7G_NA (VM7) model and a constraint on late Holocene Antarctic deglaciation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the latest ICE-7G_NA (VM7) model of the GIA process, the North American component of which was refined using a full suite of geophysical observables, is able to reconcile the vast majority of uniformly analyzed relative sea level constraints available for the Western part of the Mediterranean basin.
Revisiting Tectonic Corrections Applied to Pleistocene Sea-Level Highstands
Jessica R. Creveling,Jerry X. Mitrovica,Carling C. Hay,Carling C. Hay,Jacqueline Austermann,Robert E. Kopp +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use numerical models of glacial isostatic adjustment that incorporate both of these effects to quantify the plausible range of the combined error and show that, even at sites far from melting ice sheets, local peak sea level during MIS 5e may depart from eustasy by 2-4 m, or more.

A Pliocene-Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic δ18O records
TL;DR: In this paper, a 53-Myr stack (LR04) of benthic δ18O records from 57 globally distributed sites aligned by an automated graphic correlation algorithm is presented.

A 17,000-year glacio-eustatic sea level record: influence of glacial melting rates on the Younger Dryas event and deep-ocean circulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a global oxygen isotope record for ocean water has been calculated from the Barbados sea level curve, allowing separation of the ice volume component common to all isotope records measured in deep-sea cores.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates

TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.

TL;DR: The responses of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres differed significantly, which reveals how the evolution of specific ice sheets affected sea level and provides insight into how insolation controlled the deglaciation.

TL;DR: An undisturbed climate record from a North Greenland ice core, which extends back to 123,000 years before the present, within the last interglacial period, shows a slow decline in temperatures that marked the initiation of the last glacial period.
