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.

	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		Of course, we couldn't agree on our own top ten, and many of us lobbied for stories that didn't make the final cut. So, we have added here nine of 2007's other most important finds...		Baby Mammoth, Russia
	Alexander's Isthmus, Tyre, Lebanon		Ötzi's Final Moments, Italy		Neolithic Mural, Syria
	Imperial Standards, Rome		Building the Great Pyramid, Giza		Paleolithic Tools, India
	5,800-Year-Old Mass Grave, Syria		Polynesian Breakthroughs		What did we leave out? What would you have picked as the year's most important find, whether it's something we picked or something we missed, rounding out the year's 20 most important discoveries?
