This isn't exactly my special field, but Archaeology magazine did their own list of "The Top 10 Discoveries of 2010," which was completely different from NatGeo's list: http://www.archaeology.org/1101/topten/

The discoveries in Japan sound really interesting! My sister is a French major, if I can get her to do a translation for me, would you like me to post it here?

Well, I don't have time to crosspost all my entries in English, but since those two discoveries has been elected (by me) "major finds of the year", I thought I should at least do something for them.
So I translated the two articles in English, you can find the translation at the end of the text in French.

Thanks for the link about Archaeology magazine, this is an interesting list ! I would not have mixed paleoanthropological discoveries with archaeological ones, but since I am interested in both fields, it does not really bother me.

Thank you so much for the translation! Those are such interesting articles, I really appreciate it!

Archaeology definitely takes a "four fields" approach, so their content doesn't just stick strictly to "traditional" archaeology, but anything related to anthropology that involves physical remains/artifacts. Maybe not purist, but since my school also used the four fields approach, it's familiar to me :3
