WThe Gökçeler relief is an Achaemenid-era tomb relief made in the Anatolian-Persian style. It was found in 2004 in the village of Gökçeler in Manisa Province of present-day Turkey.

The relief is made out of limestone and measures 1.79m × 0.55m × 0.25m. The relief is a "distinctive product of the artistic synthesis classified as Graeco-Persian or Anatolian-Persian".

WTel Ro'im West is a prehistoric archaeological site in the eastern slopes of the Naftalie ridge, where it descends into the Hula Valley in northern Israel. The site offers a variety of resources including water, animals, and plants. It is surrounded by fertile soil to its south and east. In 2004, prior to road construction work, a salvage excavation took place. Two areas were excavated and within them, four settlement phases (strata) from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic and Pottery Neolithic periods were uncovered. The findings represent a northern-Levantine material culture, which implies this region has been a boundary between the material culture of the northern and southern Levant.
