Egypt
Top-10 lists leave out some important discoveries
The Columbas Dispatch (Bradley T. Lepper)
Thanks to Archaeology Magazine for pointing to this item in their News section.
2007 appears to have been a banner year for archaeology. Both the National Geographic Society and Archaeology magazine compiled lists of the 10 most significant archaeological discoveries of the year.
Remarkably, no two discoveries overlapped on the two lists. Does this really mean there were so many discoveries of such significance last year that two independent compilations wouldn’t share even one?
I wish that were the case. Instead, I think it means such lists are inherently subjective and based on inconsistent criteria.
