What about the cave dewellers (more than 35000 years ago) of France, NEANDETRAL?
Now let's talk about the Neanderthals. Archaeologists agree that it was from the time of neanderthals we started to believe in supernatural. For example, the cave paintings/totems, and their burial rituals. If you have time go to the smithsonian and see the exhibit on neanderthals. The neanderthals tied their dead's hands and legs so that it wouldn't come back to haunt them.
If we are to talk of fairly modern period in Archaeology, i.e., the emergence of jericho as the first nation state, there too, archeaologists have uncovered idols that are quite similar to the Hindu idols.
If you are into Archaeology, and would like to discuss it, I suggest you read a great book/novel- The Clan of the Cave Bear. Amazing book.
