Περίληψη:	Ancient slipways are spread throughout the Aegean coastline, constitute an important part of Greek naval history and maritime tradition, and provide valuable evidence of the relative sea level (rsl) change from the period of their construction and use since their function required them to be situated at the water’s edge. Geoarchaeological surveys of rsl changes in several coastal sites either revealed unknown slipways or offered some fresh insights into the functional features of sites previously published. The slipways here presented, albeit covering a wide chronological range from the Classical period to Modern times, follow similar construction and functional principles. The contemporary measured depths of the seaward end of the rock-cut sloping floors are interpolated into the curves of the rsl rise for the Aegean and allow us to conclude that slipways are good sea level indicators and suggest their functional height with an uncertainty not exceeding the tidal range.
