From July 2008: Afghan secrets revealed on Google Earth: archaeologists use satellite photos to find and map sites.
From April 2008: Move over, Stonehenge: the sanctuary at Göbekli Tepe, in Syria, dated to around 9500 BCE.
From January 2008: Great Ancient City Unearthed in Syria: "Archaeologists say Brak was one of the earliest and largest cities in the region — and therefore the world. That assertion is shaking up Near Eastern archaeology, since scholars long assumed that the first substantial cities arose in southern Mesopotamia." And here's a picture.
