***Sounds like they're doing a thorough job -- also, the dig has probably been going on for a while (at least a few years), but this is the first I'd read about it***

I have a file on it on my desktop. CBN (Pat Robertson) and a scientific journal (?) did a story on it in the past few weeks. There have been questions why the site remains unnamed - other than New York of the ancient Levant... Look that up in your concordance. :)

Of course there are no records from 5K BCE to identify urban remains, but the top levels might appear in Egyptian or even Greek records. Phoenician? ...or just a modern name: The Interchange Impressway?

Good point! 😉

The site may have been abandoned (well, obviously, eh? ;^) well before anyone from literate areas wandered in. Best shot might be Eblaite records, assuming that this "NY" site was large enough and prosperous enough when/if their existences overlapped..
