Holocene crustal movements are recorded as fossil calcareous assemblages on rocky coast. It is possible to reconstruct crustal movements by summarizing these heights, structures and C ages. In this study, to clarify crustal movements, we collected calcareous assemblages and dated them using the C at Cape Hane. C ages show forming period of the lowest wave-cut-bench. However, it is difficult to determine the history of emerged events in a short cycle. To reconstruct the crustal movement history precisely, it is necessary to identify obvious multi-layer structures or discontinuous surfaces with time interval.
