The first results from one of the trenches confirm the existence of coseism ic reverse fault deformation affecting quaternary alluvial fan deposits. The sedimentary evolution observed on trench shows a temporary blocking of Colmenar creek flow (in the foot wall of the Alhama de Murcia fault), due to uplifting of the hanging wall during coseismic reactivation. An available age of 3010 ± 90 yr post-dated that process. %~
