Ah yes, we modders and our epic mods
I've been intrigued by the notion that simple math precedes writing -- basically glyphs on an amphora so you know what's in it and how much.
So personally I do:
[Pottery] => [Glyphs] => ([Math] & [Writing]) + [Polytheism] => [Code Of Laws] {City-State}
[Glyphs] + [Mysticism] => [Polytheism]
I would also assume that "Domestication" and "Urbanization" shouldn't really be Techs, as they're sort of required to build cities in the first place.
Also, Slavery (or perhaps "Caste System") also seems endemic to all "first cities."
Lastly, I would place Skirmishing before Warfare, as truly primitive warfare wasn't about destroying armies or capturing cities, but rather about territory and slaves.
Just my $.02.
Best Regards,
Oz
