Late Holocene crustal uplift of Shikine Island, off the Pacific coast of central Japan, has been investigated. Shikine is a small island of about 3km(EW)x2.5km(NS), located on the northern tip of the Izu-Bonin arc, to the south of the Philippine Sea-Eurasian plate boundary of the Suruga and Sagami troughs. So far, historical coseismic uplift of the island, due to the 1498 or 1605 or 1703 great offshore earthquake, has been suspected based on raised fossil barnacles. In the present study, six localities on the northern and eastern coast of the island, which are situated at the foot of a steep sea cliff, several tens of meters high, have been observed. At Loc. 1 fossil barnacles can be found in the range of 2.6-4.3m amsl (above mean sea level at Okada, Oshima Island). Tetraclitella chinensis (sampling height, 3.2-3.6m amsl), Megabalanus rosa (3.0-3.1m amsl), and Tetraclitella chinensis (2.6m amsl) have been dated at 1980+ 130(GaK-9718), 1830+130 (GaK-9717), and 1350+100 (GaK-9720)14Cy.B.P., respectively, showing a direct relationship between height and date. The 14C date of 2540+290y.B.P.(GaK-9721) for Saccostrea echinata (2.6m amsl), however, is not in harmony with this tendency. This anomaly is probably due to subsequent reworking of the older shell. At this locality, the upper limit of living Tetraclita squamosa Japonica bed indicates that the present high tide level is 1.0m amsl. At Loc. 2 fossil barnacles and shells can be found in the range of 3.94.2m amsl. Here, however, due to a small amount of sample number, only an unreliable 14C date of 1010+300y.B.P. (GaK-9717) has been obtained for Tetraclita squamosa Japonica (4.2m amsl). At Loc. 3 fossil barnacles can be found in the range of 3.9-6.1m amsl. The 14C date of the barnacle Tetraclitella chinensis which are scattered throughout 1.1m at section
