#3 Best neolithic town/temple found to date: Çatal Hoyuk in Anatolian Turkey. Dates from about 6000 BC. Marija Gimbutas' work is still the classic on the religious aspects of the neolithic in that area.

#4 9th century BC may be too recent to be Stone Age (Neolithic) in other places, but this is Syria we're talking about.

#5 Objects made of stone and bone instruments were found in the large temple, whose walls bore geometric designs and a drawing of a bull's head in vivid red, black and white colors..

Temple? Rubbish. It's a butcher's shop, complete with tools, price list of different cuts and a picture of the special of the day.

#6 Neolithic ruins discovered! How befitting, since this is precisely the period in history to which the Islamo-Barbarians wish to return.

#8 I have an interest in archeology dating back to helping with an excavation in Panama in the 1960's. There's an interesting weblog, Archaeoblog, that I check quite often. There's nothing there yet about this, but I'm sure there will be (complete with links) in a few days.
