For a second there, I was confused about the dating, especially because the article mentions a jar dating 5000 years back. Leaving that aside, if the dates are accurate then the only thing we can be sure of based on our present knowledge is that it wasn't a Homo Sapien community. It could be a Neanderthal cemetery or even one belonging to another hominid species. It's too early to tell but the Neanderthals did migrate & according to some research, even adapt to different environments bringing about their own cultures & societies. The rest of this subject is highly controversial so I don't think we should be reaching any conclusions just yet. Besides, our knowledge of rituals & cultures of ancient civilizations still lacks in certain areas so identifying other hominid societies gets even tougher.
Anyway all I know is that this field is not fully researched at all and that you have major findings each year in various places on the earth. So expect the history to be rewritten several times over in the upcoming years.
But I am just reporting the news after all. I have not been part of the excavations and only know what the article told.

Seriously, you are one deluded stateless Kurd and Kazakh nomad.
Everything that is so-called Iranian has been influenced by us Semites. From your very alphabet, religion, language, national symbols, dresses to basically everything. After all Semitic civilizations are arguably the most influential that have ever existed and this is very well-known among historians. No need to elaborate further. One just has to look at the 3 Abrahamic religions or the very basic inventions.
You people first came into existence less than 2800 years ago. Don't make me laugh. The first people who even described you were us Semites.
You know nothing as usual and are just a little stateless Kurd who hates to see Arab influence in every way of life among his useless people. While we never needed you people for anything.
The influence went the other way and that is what you will always will be bitter about.
Too bad.
What is even more funny is that all your ancestors once roamed the Arabian Peninsula so even the "natural way" supports the history and which side influenced who the most.
Get over it Kurd. You are useless people that number about 20 million stateless heads that gave nothing to the world. Just like the Kazakh nomads you love so much.
Honor killings and making kebabs is your biggest invention while the richest person in this world is an Arab-Mexican.
Hell, Latin Americans of Arab descent who have been presidents, businessmen, prime ministers, scientists, writers, footballers etc. have contributed more to the world than you useless Kurds. And that's just about 40 million Arabs out of the 450 million Arabs of the world.
Says the guy from the North Korea of the Middle East and the prime terror state in the world.
Iran and state-sponsored terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
30.000 political prisoners executed in one year alone.
You deserve the Mullah's. Also getting butchered by Arabs, Turks and Iranians.
