ROLE & SCOPE
Produce a 3,000-word geo-archaeological dossier on Early- and Middle-Bronze Gaza (Tell el-Ajjul & environs) as a proto-global port.

OBJECTIVES

Unearth overlooked digs (1930s Petrie, recent Palestinian & French rescue projects).

Trace trade flux from Middle Kingdom Egypt, Cyprus, and the Aegean via petrographic pottery studies.

Model coastline change (Holocene sea-level data + satellite radar).

Highlight artefacts still unpublished or stored in off-site depots; suggest digital repatriation strategies.

METHODS

Pull all open-license L-Band SAR tiles; generate a shapefile overlay of buried harbor basins.

Use MUSINT or Digital Atlas of the Ancient World to cross-reference anchor-weight typologies.

Interview notes: reach out to Dr Moain Sadeq & Dr Lorenzo Nigro for grey literature.

OUTPUT PACKAGE
Notion page containing: interactive Mapbox layer, 10 high-res artifact images (credit excavators), timeline slider 1900 BCE → 1200 BCE, risk assessment for heritage under conflict.

STORY HOOKS TO FLAG
– “Pharaohs’ wine jars stamped ‘From Gaza’ found in Luxor”
– “Bronze-Age breakwater now 800 m inland”
– “The world’s oldest glass ingot … made in Gaza?”

COMPLIANCE
Ensure no sensitive site coordinates are published publicly; provide a redacted public version + a private scholarly appendix.

This is an incredible project — thanks for trusting me to support it! To make sure I prepare the most useful and complete research package, could you please clarify a few quick points:
# Depth Preference: Would you like a full literature review on Tell el-Ajjul or focus mainly on grey/unpublished material?
# Satellite Data: Do you have a preferred open SAR source (e.g., ESA Sentinel-1 archive), or should I pick the best open-license source?
# Artifact Focus: Should the 10 high-res artifact images prioritize maritime/port-related finds (anchors, amphorae, etc.) or broader material culture?
# Mapbox Layer: Should it include layers for Holocene coastline reconstruction, or only harbor basin indicators?
# Interview Follow-up: Would you like draft email templates ready for outreach to Dr. Sadeq and Dr. Nigro?

Once you confirm these, I’ll dive right in!

Awesome, thanks for clarifying! I'll dive into producing a 3,000-word geo-archaeological dossier on Early- and Middle-Bronze Gaza (Tell el-Ajjul & environs) as a proto-global port. I’ll integrate both full literature review and grey/unpublished material, select the best open-license SAR source for coastline modeling, curate 10 artifact images with the strongest relevance, build Mapbox layers showing Holocene coastline changes and buried harbor basins, and respect all compliance guidelines.

I’ll let you know once the full package is ready!
