BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a beach deposit near Palaikastro consisting of mixed ash, building debris, marine fossils, and pottery, and asks what this proves.
Option 1: 'the Minoans rebuilt, using all available coastal materials.' While the presence of debris could reflect post-event activity, the combination of ash, marine fossils, and pottery in a single, transportation-wide deposit does not specifically demonstrate reconstruction with coastal materials. It lacks a direct link to deliberate rebuilding actions and material choices, making this interpretation weak.
Option 2: 'an earthquake caused massive landslides.' An earthquake can trigger landslides, but the key issue here is the distinctive mixture of coastal-origin materials (marine fossils) found inland together with human artifacts and ash. This pattern is more characteristic of rapid, high-energy water movement redistributing items across a broad area rather than a localized landslide event, which would typically show different sedimentary signatures and fail to account for the transported marine components in such a consolidated deposit.
Option 3: 'a tsunami flooded the coastal region.' This option best fits the assemblage described: ash from burning or eruption-related or a rapid depositional event, building debris and pottery moved from the inland or coastal zone, and marine fossils deposited inland far from their original position, all indicative of a high-energy, water-transport event consistent with a tsunami. The cross-cutting nature of materials from land and sea in a single layer strongly supports a tsunami inundation rather than a purely terrestrial or localized event.
In summary, the presence of mixed ash, building debris, marine fossils, and pottery in a single deposit aligns with the pattern expected from a tsunami inundation, whereas the other options do not cohesively account for all components or their transport and distribution in the layer.
