1. Interesting find.

This is a very interesting find for its info about how people lived at that time; also that it continued into the Turkish period. As many archeological sites as possible should be preserved and kept open to visitors thus displaying not just great finds but also a multi-millennia Jewish habitation in Israel despite Arab denials and ignorance to the contrary.
2. Masepotemia

I do not believe the 28000 years old farm is persian in nature ,How it could be wherease the history of Persian Empire backed to almost to 500 BC and before that it was a great Empire of Mede ?!I wonder how the history of Median have been wiped out and founding every Arian belongings even it is 10000 BC you would connect it to Persian .Does it politic or science ?!
3. 8th - 6th Centuries ... Biblical???

The article says this farmhouse was built & occupied near Tel Aviv & Jerusalem in the 8th thru at least 3rd centuries, but no Jewish occupiers? How is this explained Biblically since Jews ruled this area during this time? Please help ...
4. Confused, where are our ruling Israelites?
Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (12.15.14)
This structure is near Tel Aviv & Jerusalem during our Biblical Rule. Huh?!?? The article's facts: "was built in the eighth century BCE, the time of the Assyrian conquest"; "the building continued to be used during the Persian period (also known as the Time of the Return to Zion) in the sixth century BCE, and in the Hellenistic period as well which began in the country with the arrival of Alexander the Great"; "Alexander’s victory over the Persian army in 333 BCE"; "Evidence of a Greek presence in the region was uncovered on one of the floors of the building in the form of a rare silver coin"; "During the Ottoman period a lime kiln was dug into the structure" ...
5. No archeological evidence of any "return to zion".
