Avenging Spider-Man #11 features new flashback material that occurs immediately and shortly after Ben Parker's death. At some point, we'll need to add this and other recent FB material [ASM 665 (18:4)-FB, AAF 15/7, ASMF 3] to this portion of Spidey's, May's, and other characters' chronologies.
Right now, I'm writing about the FB material that occurs sometime later:
14:3-14:4 -- Spidey saves a couple from two muggers
15:1 -- Peter and Gwen enjoy sodas at a diner
15:2 -- Spidey unmasks Green Goblin (probably repeats content from ASM 122)
15:3 -- Spidey tries to stop Punisher from gunning down some thugs
16:2 -- Spidey emerges from a grave (probably repeats content from WOSM 32)
What is original material and where should it go?

Re: Flashbacks in Avenging Spider-Man #11
I talked about this here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6485
It's odd to see him unshaved at 15 and I suggest p 13 could take place later on an anniversary of Ben's death but this requires a calendar. In this case, rather than putting 13 with AF 15 we could try to put it closer to 14:3-14:4 and 15:1, i.e. during the college years.
WoS 129.1 also has early material viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6476 so someone reviewing his Essentials or Omnibus can think about it.

Re: Flashbacks in Avenging Spider-Man #11
It's open to interpretation, but I read the flashback on page 13 to be shortly after Ben's death. I don't see anything wrong with an unshaven young Peter Parker at this point in his life. With the recent tragedy, he can be excused for not keeping up with his shaving. And I find it acceptable for Peter to be shaving at this age.
How about those few other FBs listed here, Spidey fans?
