6 of the 10 Discoveries of 2007
[Reported in Archaeology magazine]. Thirteen stone towers at
Chankillo Peru proved to be a Solar Observatory - one of the oldest in the Americas.
Michael Waters & Thomas Stafford narrowed the Clovis period to a disputed
250 years (13,050-12,800) - too brief to have spread across the Americas. A
theory arose to explain this Clovis culture disappearance - an exploding comet which
conveniently also explains the extinction of the mammoth and the onset of the
global cooling event called the Younger Dryas.
Archaeologists stumble upon a 2,000-year-old Iron Age henge that
inconveniently halted construction of the M3 around Dublin Ireland.
Scientists completed a 10-year mapping project of Cambodia's Anghor which yielded clues suggesting the sprawling metropolis could
have collapsed under overpopulation and deforestation. Radiocarbon dating
and DNA analysis of a chicken bone from a site in Chile suggests Polynesians brought chickens
to the west coast of South America well before Columbus.
