the oldest discovered buildings for continuous occupancy are actually Tel al-Qaramel near Aleppo (not far from Gobekli Tepe) and they're 1000 years older than Gobekli Tepe

the oldest continuously inhabited city is Jericho (Ariha in Arabic) and that's essentially where this mask was found (100KM to the south, anyway). Jericho has been inhabited since 9600 BC.
