Final answer:

The buildings in order by age of construction, from oldest to newest, are Göbekli Tepe, Stonehenge, and finally Newark Earthworks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To put the buildings in order by date of construction, starting with the oldest, we have to identify the construction dates of each structure.

Therefore, the order from oldest to newest would be:
