Drăgușin et al. (2025) interpreted deposits at Mangalia (Romania) as evidence of a two-phase tectonic event (~14 m subsidence and uplift) during the 18th–19th centuries. Based on multi-proxy data from the same site, we show that this scenario is inconsistent with regional tectonics, stratigraphy, and archaeology. The deposits instead record the gradual infill of a coastal depression episodically affected by extreme marine incursions.
