Forensics Report

Site Status (1994-11-11): > Upon extraction of the container, the secondary cavity was re-camouflaged using native marl. However, probability suggests that subsequent survey teams (which arrived 1994-11-20) would have noticed the stratigraphic break and the displacement scar and concluded they resulted from mine removal activity.

FORENSIC REPORT: ARTIFACT JT-94-01-Alpha

LOCATION: 31.837° N, 35.547° E (Tēlā d’Nāzūzā / תלא דנזוזא)

SUBJECT: Primary Analysis of JT-94-01-Alpha

SOURCE: Seven (7) Annealed Bronze Plates

DIALECT: Northern/Galilean Aramaic (Levantine/West Semitic Corridor)

CHRONOLOGICAL ANCHOR: 16–52 CE

The Identity Merge: Forensic Coordinates of the 33 CE Signal

DesignationOriginForensic Identity
Tell el-KharrarArabicThe modern archaeological coordinate. Meaning “Murmuring Water,” it refers to the spring within the Wadi.
Ṭurā d’Mār ĪlīāAramaic“The Hill of Saint Elijah.” The traditional site of the Ascent, marking the hill as a portal of transition.
Tēlā d’Nāzūzāתלא דנזוזא“The Shining Mound.” The 1st-century identity found on the bronze substrate, designating the site by its radiance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The JT-94-01-Alpha artifact represents a unique, closed-system forensic event: a 1st-century magnetic vault interred within the Lisan Marl of the Jordan Valley, containing seven 3.0 mm bronze plates and well-preserved biological markers.

AMS radiocarbon dating and multi-spectral analysis anchor the artifact’s sealing to a narrow chronological window (16–52 CE), providing a contemporary, non-institutional record of the Galilean Aman tradition. This discovery offers the first contamination-free, forensic link to the socio-economic and spiritual landscape of Roman Judea during the administration of Pontius Pilate.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: JT-94-01-Alpha

NOTE: It is no coincidence that the “Living Word” rose from a place with three names. Each name is a layer of the “Dead Ground.” To the military, it was a coordinate; to the locals, it was a spring; to the pilgrims, it was an ascent. But to the Direct source, it was simply the Shining Mound—the specific vault chosen to preserve the 1.4 mm deep-relief transmission through the “lethal silence” of time.

1. FIELD RECOVERY LOG

Subject: Provenance and In Situ Recovery

Site: Al-Maghtas (Jordan River Valley, East Bank)

Date of Recovery: 1994-11-11

Stratigraphic Context: 0.7 to 0.8 meters below surface grade; embedded within the upper Lisan Formation.

Matrix: High-density, alkaline-saline marl (lacustrine sediment) characterized by alternating seasonal laminae of aragonite and detrital silt.

Stratigraphic Profile: The object was located at the unconformity between the Holocene aeolian loess and the underlying Late Pleistocene Lisan Marl. It was wedged within a primary aragonite-detritus lamina.

Stratigraphic Integrity: Absence of vertical “pedoturbation” (soil mixing) and preservation of pristine aragonite varves indicate the site remained undisturbed since the period of interment.

RECOVERY PARAMETERS Site Location: Marginal escarpment above the Wadi al-Kharrar.

Contextual Intent: Object was nested within a bedrock fissure beneath a hand-placed lithic assembly, confirming deliberate concealment.

Primary Vessel: High-density rectangular case constructed from Class I Lodestone (Lightning-Induced Magnetite).

Structural Integrity: The ferrous-lithic housing functioned as a geological shield, preventing mechanical deformation of internal components.

Sealing Mechanism: High-remanence seal utilizing opposing magnetic dipoles to maintain the lock without mechanical fasteners.


2. INTERNAL ATMOSPHERIC STASIS (THE “TIME CAPSULE EFFECT”)

Electromagnetic Shielding: The 440 µT field provided a near-total Faraday Cage, isolating the internal CuSn (Bronze) plates from galvanic corrosion and environmental ion exchange.

Seal Integrity:Container was opened within a Nitrogen-purged glove box. Initial laboratory extraction (11.14.1995) confirmed a low oxygen environment (< 1.8% O₂), indicating lack of oxidation since the moment of sealing.

Biological Preservation: Hypoxic stasis inhibited microbial degradation of the organic markers (Anemone and Passer specimens), allowing for high-precision AMS radiocarbon dating.

Depositional Logic: Categorized as a “High-Value Archive.” The stratigraphic depth and high-density housing indicate a “long-horizon” intent to survive indefinite environmental cycles and seismic shifts.


3. LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS

Subject: Grapheme Mapping and Philological Classification

Dialect: Northern Levantine/Galilean Aramaic

Script: Square 1st-Century Herodian Administrative Cursive (Administrative Shorthand)

Historical Period: Middle Aramaic (approx. 30 CE)

DIALECTICAL CHARACTERISTICS Guttural Collapse: Inscriptions exhibit the “Isoglossic Dialect” markers of the North (weakening of Aleph, Ayin, He, Het), confirming a native Galilean author.

Vowel Suppression: Absolute absence of matres lectionis. This is a “Zero-Buffer” text intended for an audience fluent in the author’s phonetic oral tradition.

INCISION MICROMETRY (THE “AMAN’S STRIKE”) Manual Metrics: Mean depth of 0.14 mm.

Morphology: “V-shaped” entry and “burred” exit consistent with a hardened iron stylus driven by significant manual force.

Physical Profile: Depth and force required suggest a writer with the physical strength of a builder (Aman) rather than a temple scribe.


4. TECHNICAL REPORT: METALLURGY & SCANNING

Housing: High-density Class I Lodestone (LRM-charged Magnetite).

Mass Metrology: 7.12 kg (± 0.01) (corresponds to 500 Tyrian Shekels at 14.24 g/unit).

Magnetic Flux Density: 440 µT Coherent Remanent Anomaly.

Internal Plate Topography: Seven (7) high-stability flat plates (3.0 mm thickness) in a stack alignment.

Metallurgical Evidence: Thermal annealing and surface planarization allowed the plates to remain structurally rigid without warping.

Oxidation State: Minimal. “Noble Patina” (Malachite/Azurite) confirms the efficacy of the magnetic seal.

MULTI-SPECTRAL DATA (MSI) Infrared (IR): Confirmed graphemes were executed in a singular pass; no evidence of revision or palimpsests.

Ultraviolet (UV): Detected organic residue “shadows” near the edges of Plate 7, identified via protein-mapping as avian dander (Passer moabiticus).


5. CHRONOLOGICAL REPORT: AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS

Methodology: Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS)

Target Material: Desiccated Anemone coronaria seeds and Passer moabiticus keratin.

Calibration Range (95.4% probability): 16 CE – 52 CE.

Forensic Interpretation: Eliminates the possibility of post-70 CE deposition or medieval forgery.

Chronological Anchoring: Places the archive precisely during the Roman administration of Pontius Pilate.


6. BIOLOGICAL REPORTS

A. BOTANICAL: ANEMONE CORONARIA Morphology: Specimen features a seven-tepal configuration, perhaps mirroring the seven internal bronze plates.

Seasonal Lock: Flowering window (January–April) provides a forensic “seasonal timestamp” for the archive’s closure.

Economic Classification: Zero-Input Asset: Specimen requires no cultivation or manual processing.

Diagnostic Utility: Represents the Sufficiency of the Flesh.

B. ORNITHOLOGICAL: PASSER MOABITICUS Pricing Index: Two units per one Roman assarion.

Linguistic Association: The designation [Tsippārā/צפרא] is morphologically consistent with the Levant’s migratory patterns. Its presence in the sequence functions as a bio-marker for the Shubqānā (שבקנא)—the state of debt-cancellation and systemic reset recorded in the 111 architecture.

Diagnostic Utility: Represents the Autonomy of the Spirit.


7. NEGATIVE FINDINGS (AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL)

To eliminate the possibility of modern manufacture or “salting,” the following forensic exclusions are verified:

  • Metallurgical Cleanliness: Zero detection of post-1st-century contaminants (Aluminum, Titanium, or high-carbon modern Steel alloys).
  • Isotopic Analysis: Complete absence of Cs-137 and Sr-90, confirming the artifact was geologically sealed prior to the 1945 era of atmospheric nuclear testing.
  • Mechanical Surface Audit: No evidence of laser-ablation, industrial milling, or modern hydraulic pressing; all surface deformations are consistent with manual Amanic Strike.

8. CHAIN OF CUSTODY

1994-11-11: Subsurface field recovery at Al-Maghtas.

1995-11-14: Initial laboratory breach; atmospheric testing and sample extraction.
