Hundreds of thousands of people joined you in exploring the discoveries that framed the most popular archaeology stories that Western Digs reported on in 2014.

Taken together, these finds teach us about many distant and different cultures, and describe radically divergent facets of human history in the West — from the achievements of some of its earliest settlements to the atrocities committed during the most difficult times.

And thanks to all of you who have stopped by Western Digs in the past year and made this list what it is.
