Conclusion
48% Nanna (moon god), Inana (love & war; venus), An (sky god)
So here we have neolithic interest in the Moon, Venus, and Sky.
47% Anu (An as adopted by akkadians), Anunna (enlil?)
40% Sin (nanna as adopted by akkadians), Ninsun (Divine mother of gilgames), Ninsi'anna (venus), Ninisinna (healing goddess), Assur (east-semetic sungod/archer; city)
The oldest parts of Bronze age Assur were found beneath the ishtar temple (istar occuring at 16% which is the peak of polythiest pantheon development while ishtar at 5% which is beyond the peak pantheon growth).
It means Assur is initially a permanant neolithic settlement and there are as yet unidentified earlier layers below the bronze age city.

Dios Murciélago, Kedo, Corichacozee,
Conclusion:
28% Earliest known Gods appear as Nohuichana, Nohuichaana (goddess of Creation)- her partner cozaana actually appears much later, Huichaana (a variation on nohuichaana), and Coqui Huani (god of light entertainment). So the initial Zapotec Pantheon is the Goddess of Creation and the God of Humor.
26% the variations on the creator goddess continue to spread, but now Ndan (sea god/goddess - gender unknown) appears.
22% we get pantheon growth with Ndubdo (god of corn), Loçio (god of unpleasant weather), Locio(ditto), Dubdo(corn), Coquie Laa (god of wealth/red food colouring), Coqueelaa(ditto), Coquee Laa(ditto), thus we see the Agricultural pantheon development.
16% Ndozin (god of death, justice, night, and messenger of the sea god), Cozichacozee (god of war), Cozaana (a new 'creator god' now paired with the initial creator goddess), Coqui Bezelao (god of death) appear. Looks like the peaceful times have ended,
Largest Pantheon Growth occurs during the 14%-12% period.
Spanish arrive at 2% (with Dios Murciélago-spanish batman) not quite ending further cultural development- R is absorbed from the Spanish resulting in Corichacozee (god of war). Kedo (evil god of death- suddenly the god of death is evil, likely caused by christian influence).
