Research description
This is a network abstraction derived from multiple evidence classes, not a route line, polity or timeless commercial system. Its edges and participants changed across the interval.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Network, not bounded state
Marks a toponym or interaction model that should not be displayed as a fixed political polygon.
Why does this record have this property?
The model joins distinct evidence classes without asserting a continuous route, one polity or timeless commercial system.

supports · pp. 328–339
Maritime exchange evidence
Marks evidence compatible with coastal or seaborne movement.
Why does this record have this property?
Harbour archaeology, Egyptian expedition imagery, isotopic imports and coastal inscriptions support maritime movement while leaving exact routes open.
