Top 10 Archaelogical Discoveries of 2007

from Archaeology.org:

Hardly week goes by without a major archaeological discovery or the publication of a radical new theory about the human past. Reducing a year's worth of these stories to the 10 most important was a tall order, especially since our intent was to go beyond the headlines and select those we thought made a significant impact on the field--ones that will be talked about for decades.

With that in mind, here are our picks for the 2007's most important finds...


Solar Observatory at Chankillo, Peru
Nebo-Sarsekim Cuneiform Tablet
New Dates for Clovis Sites
Early Squash Seeds, Peru
Ancient Chimpanzee Tool Use
Urbanization at Tell Brak, Syria
Lismullin Henge, Tara, Ireland
Polynesian Chickens in Chile
Homo habilis & Homo erectus
Greater Angkor, Cambodia
