  abstract = {{U}ranium-series dates from coral boulders constrain the timing of a medieval tsunami from the {P}uerto {R}ico {T}rench. {P}reviously reported evidence for this tsunami includes hundreds of coral boulders that came to rest hundreds of meters inland on {A}negada, {B}ritish {V}irgin {I}slands. {N}ew {U}-series dates on these coral boulders provide limiting dates for the tsunami. {T}he narrowest limits were by dating interior bands of a coral that retains the hemispherical form of a living coral colony, and which include adjustments for the number of annual density band couplets between the dated samples and the boulder exteriors. {B}y those limits, the tsunami dates between 1381 and 1391 {CE}, and likely occurred during summer or fall. {T}he tsunami is important as the only reported sign that the eastern {P}uerto {R}ico {T}rench has produced a great earthquake. {T}he dating may aid in defining the earthquake source and in communicating tsunami hazards.},
