anche rispetto alle articolazioni del litorale

Italian to English Art/Literary Geography In A Book On The History Of Geographical Explorations
Contesto;

La localizzazione delle città fenicie dimostra che il sito veniva scelto con particolare cura anche risetto alle articolazioni del litorale, in modo da dotare ogni città di almeno due porti, disposti sui due lati dello stesso promontorio. Il tal modo veniva assicurato alle navi un ancorraggio sicuro in differenti condizioni di vento e di mare.

Molte Grazie,

Barbara
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Rachel Fell, Michele Fauble

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Yes, thanks Cornelius. That is exactly what is meant in this case.
Cornelius Gillen Feb 8, 2019:
coastal indentations / indentations of the coast would work here
Barbara Cochran, MFA (asker) Feb 8, 2019:
Indentations The author just wrote and told me that it means "indentations". I could see it in my mind, but did not know if it referred to a jagged coastline or not.

It means the shape of the coastline.
