Some of @Evo's posts got me interested in this a few years ago.
There have been some threads on here about Göbeklitepe (in Turkey), one of the oldest known archeological sites.
Çakmaktepe, one of several sites near and somewhat similar to Göbeklitepe that have been recently described, however it is even older.
This video argues that it an early settlement based on trapping large animal herds which allowed the people there to settle down. The video also places this site in a sequence of settlements leading to villages eventually based on agriculture.
