Melvadius Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 It's that time of year when various magazines and TV companies with nothing better to do try to point up the top 10 stories of the year. With Archeology magazines list of their choice of top ten discoveries of the year I can see several with more than a little merit to the claim. However, I am much less convinced by National Geographics' ten most viewed stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 "This past year will always be remembered as the year we found out that the Neanderthals survived and they are us." This one takes the cake for me. The discovery of paleolithic stone tools in Crete opens intriguing possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 "This past year will always be remembered as the year we found out that the Neanderthals survived and they are us." This one takes the cake for me. The discovery of paleolithic stone tools in Crete opens intriguing possibilities. Possibly although my own inclination from their list is the non-destructive radio-carbon dating process. If this is proven and a repeatable process then it has a very wide range of applications while removing the need for deep core drilling of artefacts which has had to occur up to now.
