Short summary
Speleoseismological investigations have been adopted to characterize a complex tectonically active area in the easternmost sector of the Central Apennines. Evidence of earthquake damages has been recognized in the analyzed cave. Radiocarbon dating and the correspondence with independent data collected outside the cave provide constraints for the individuation of a M~7 mid-Holocene earthquake and for the identification of the nearby Sulmona normal fault as the most likely causative structure.
