@Doug Weller Oh, thanks for letting me know. didn't know about the 1RR. So what is the proper procedure to challenge this addition? Since talk pages are being blanked and erased? Please advise? el.ziade (talkallam) 12:56, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Doug Weller yes, that and the practice of active silencing, censorship and actively hounding users, newcomers, veterans, unregistered users and anyone who edits that bit, into despair or actively seeking to get them blocked. el.ziade (talkallam) 13:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The article is in a really nice shape and I'll promote it right. But I keep finding new information that can be added (maybe as an improvement for featured article)! I really out of my depth with Phoenician history and mostly look through one published work. Moreover, sometimes more details means watering down and confusing an article, so I don't think it's necessary to add them. I leave a couple of quotes from this article that covers: 1. the lead ingots we mention to be a part of the cargo was local to Mazarron area (from the local ancient mines) 2. more details on the changes in the bay that led to their discovery
"The lead isotope analysis of the Mazarrón 2 cargo suggests that it comes from the mining districts of Carta-gena and Mazarrón. The Mazarrón mining region covers an area of 7 km around the city of Mazarrón. Since ancient times, this region has been rich in metal deposits, copper, iron, silver, lead, and alum. The area includes three main mining sites, San Cristobal-LosPerules, Pedreras Viejas, and Coto Fortuna, exploited during various periods and separated by phases of inactivity from antiquity to the 1960s."
"Mazarrón 2 is located some 500 m away from Santa Elisa's lead-smelting factory", which discarded its "by-product slags at the Rincón de la Isla, 200 m away from Mazarrón 2, and gradually formed an embankment called El Gachero. The central area slowly eroded, while loose sand accumulated in the coastal shelter formed in El Gachero, located in the eastern sector of the beach."
The nearby marina we mention in the article was constructed "in the 1980s, in the western area of Playa de la Isla. It contributed to the increased erosion of the central part of the beach where Mazarrón 1 and Mazarrón 2 are located."
The study of biochemical study of the sediment around the wreck proved its notable impact on the ships' conservation state. [the study goes into really deep, deep depth about why and how, but I have no clue how to decipher their hypertechnical language :)]
Additionally, the geotechnical measurements figured out that "the depth of the rock bed beneath the shipwreck area exceeded 1.2 m", which informed the archeologist that they can raise the wreck "in block or without significant fragmentation, contrary to another proposal of extraction on portions".
