Pretty close to the Black Sea. Perhaps related to the conjectural civilization now under the water of that sea.

Given the date, it’s possible, but it could also be contemporaneous. If the settlement dates from 7K ago, it would be 500 years after the so-called “Noah’s Flood” event that produced the Black Sea as we know it. As Ryan and Pitman note in the book of that name, Catal Huyuk in Anatolia was depopulated pretty much immediately after the event, and Jericho’s fortifications (as well as the fortifications of other ME sites) suddenly got much more formidable at that time.
