The most complete site about the discovery is probably this one:
http://www.zeitah.net/
If there are other findings, this official site for the Tel Zayit stone
discovery and Zeitah excavations will give updates, or may be the ASOR
website in US, which finances a part of the study.

Well for now, the discovery is limited to short two lines of text on a wall,
but there may exist tablets or ceramics hidden in the ground of the
excavation.
