An example of a [[nuclear family]] structure was unearthed in 2008.  A family was found buried together in a grave dated to approximately 4600 B.C with the bodies facing one another.  Archaeologists believed they were probably killed in a raid and survivors buried them together.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,453626,00.html</ref>
