Abstract
This paper explores the concept of "extraordinariness" in archaeology using Structure O75 from the early Neolithic settlement of WF16 in southern Jordan as a case study. The author argues that Structure O75 is extraordinary because it doesn't fit into existing categories of Neolithic finds, challenging our concepts and potentially driving cognitive and linguistic development during the transition from mobile hunter-gatherer to sedentary farming communities.
