Further understanding of the sumerians - who they were, where they came from, who their "anunnaki" were, etc. - is utterly fascinating to me. So many of their influences remain extant in today's world, whether in astronomy, religion, music, art, literature or what have you, and IMHO, you must know where you've been to know where you're going.

Adim,

(klick through Kreisgräben popups)
is a 2005 main stream exhibition which gives some clues to pre sumerian origins which could be interesting to you
highlights are are large numbers of wooden circles (Kreisgräben, stonehenges) along the Donube river
erected acc. to present dating practises around 4800–4500 BC,
while some of the gates are oriented crosslike i.g. four gates of the the sun: longest, shortes and equal day/night
another circle has the gates according to stars: descent of antares, ascent of deneb, descent of rigel of orion
and ascent of pleiades( as has been investigated sofar by astronomers)
One can see from the pottery ware at the site it is similar to later sumerian. It is striking that baking ovens for grains like spelt were uncovered there, which proves that bread was imported to mid east. Sofar it was believed that the oldest bread baking ovens known were found in cappadocia (turkey) from where they were imported into sumeria. It is one more hint that pre sumerians entered from central europe.
