What boggles me is why similar sites have been found throughout the world. It is actually pretty rare that two completely disassociated groups discover the same process at roughly the same time and use it for roughly the same purpose. Normally ideas are spread through contact with the originating culture. In fact, I do not know of a single breakthrough technology, which this surely would have to be considering the time period, that was spontaneously discovered in separated areas at the same time. Hell, even the rediscovery of technology normally takes several centuries.
