That’s not supposed to be there. This is the age of the first ‘human’ civilizations in Sumer. Heavy stone work and metal work was typically relegated exclusively to the cradle of civilization. That’s an interesting find.

Be interesting if they could use DNA from the grain to trace its area of origin, as a clue to where those farmers came from; or of their trade contacts.

The name of the area is thought to have been derived from the light, balsa-like wood the Neolithites used to cap their earthen and clay jugs of proto-boozian alcoholic beverages.

One large capped jug was found next to a pile of well preserved neolithic vomit.

Great location, nice layout...needs a little TLC.

I am assuming that the stone walls in the picture are not neolithic, but later. Am I wrong?

Pottery, stone tools and grain from the same period were also discovered at the site.

So, they had whiskey....................

Interesting disc object with a hole in the middle. What could that have been used for?

A little pointing up and it would look good as new.
