That's in early bronze age though. about 7000 BC. but it gives a good minimum size.
7000 BCE is Neolithic, not Bronze Age, AFAICT. Bronze Age in the Ancient Near East started around 5000 BCE, give or take a few centuries, and if you don't count the Chalcolithic as part of the early Bronze Age, closer to 4000 BCE (again, give or take a few centuries).

EDIT: Unless someone's been playing silly buggers with the dates on Wikipedia again. I think GURPS Low-Tech also uses something like 4500 BCE as the start of the Bronze Age, though.
