The first trenches cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded  strong evidence 【that centrally administered complex societies [in northern regions of the Middle East] arose simultaneously with （the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia） but （arose)  independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq】.
这样子的应该能解决您的问题了。主要是这里面出现了一些省略。
如arose simultaneously with 与arose independently of
然后是他们共同的宾语the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia
