11. New Dinosaur Species
Earlier this year, scientists announced that they finally have identified some dinosaur remains that were originally discovered in northeastern Utah back in 1990. Turns out it was a new species of Allosaurus and the largest Allosaurus fossils ever discovered in the state.

10. Stockholm Shipwreck
In 2019, archaeologists unearthed the remains of a 16th-century shipwreck beneath Kungsträdgården park in Stockholm, Sweden. Remnants of a wooden hull were discovered beneath a courtyard, where the vessel spent nearly four centuries unnoticed, right beneath people’s feet.

9. 120,000-Year-Old Footprints
Seven well-preserved human footprints dating back 120,000 years were recently identified in Saudi Arabia, serving as the region’s oldest known evidence of human habitation. Discovered along what was once the shore of an ancient freshwater lake, called Alanthar, in what is now the western Nefud Desert, the fossilized prints belong to two or three different individuals, who likely stopped at the lake for drinking water so long ago.

8. Maya Slave Ship
In September of this year, archaeologists with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) identified a submerged vessel off the Yucatan Peninsula as the first known slave ship that transported Mayans.

7. Neolithic House
In August of this year, archaeologists performing routine excavations in anticipation of two road construction projects unearthed the foundations of a Neolithic house in Cork, Ireland. Dating back an estimated 5,700 years, the structure likely belonged to a family from one of the earliest farming communities in the country’s region.

6. Big Void
Built for the Pharaoh Khufu over a 20-year span, the Great Pyramid of Giza is both the oldest and largest of the site’s monuments. Khufu’s body has never been recovered, and what lies within the 4,500-year-old structure remains largely a mystery to archaeologists.

5. Phoenician Wine Press
Archaeologists announced the discovery of a 2,700-year-old wine press at Tell el-Burak, a Phoenician site in modern-day Lebanon, in a recently-published study in the journal Antiquity.

4. 48,000-Year-Old Tooth
Evidence of one of northern Italy’s last Neanderthals recently appeared in the form of a 48,000-year-old milk tooth, discovered in the country’s Veneto region. The small upper canine belonged to a child between 11 and 12 years old, and is detailed in a newly-published study in the Journal of Human Evolution.

3. Oldest Church In The Holy Land
Situated roughly 56 miles (91 km) outside Jerusalem, Megiddo, one of Israel’s oldest and holiest cities, is home to the oldest known church in the Holy Land. Once considered one of the Kingdom of Israel’s royal cities, Megiddo rose to prominence during the Bronze Age, but very little remains of it today.

2. Ancient Beach Forest
Over the past decade, extreme weather has exposed portions of an ancient, 4,500-year-old beach forest in the U.K. When Storm Francis hit Wales this year, even more of the forest was unburied from the sand and sediment that preserved it for several millennia.

1. Prehistoric Extinct Society
A recently published study by experts at the University College London (UCL) revealed how Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct relative of modern humans, lived day-to-day in the ancient world, around 480,000 years ago. Using thousands of artifacts, the team recreated the daily activities of a community of 30 to 40 hominids over an eight-hour period.
