I didnt see that agreement in the websites which I saw last year when
some
of these questions arose. Nor, do I see where the National Geo has quit
giving attention to people who are diving in the Black Sea. If *they*
thought
that the flood was preceramic, they would not be interested in people,
who
they report on, on their own website, that are looking for ceramics. 

I dont see the evidence of *agreement* that you cite.

I dont think it matters. You dont like his data anyway, as below.

Since we all know that the Semites and those who have followed a 
Levantine scriptural tradition have lots of different theories on what
happened when, do you, perhaps, have a Chinese or Japanese archaeologist
who has looked at the data from a less biased perspective?

I posted the link above. Argue with the Iranians if you think they are 
wrong about their own history. I can only go by what I see. Despite
being
Islamic, Iranians are not creationists, and dont seem to have an axe to
grind in dating the tels they have found. the dates of the tels are 
consistent with Smith's dating.

Nevertheless, I find it curious that nobody involved in any of this
has posted a sonar map of the bottom of the Black sea, and indicated at
which points beach sand was found. If, as has been suggested, there were
several different floods and several different levels, then there'd be
several different bands of beach. I only know of the one cited by Ryan.

However, I dont really expect them to find timber frame structures. If
the flood happned over two years, then people would have seen what it
would do, and torn down the houses to make rafts and canoes. Woodwork, 
in the stone age, was way to valuable to leave behind.
