The National Cultural Heritage Administration announced its "Top 10 New Archaeological Discoveries of 2022" on March 28. The annual list, first launched in 1990, has been generally hailed as one of the most important honors bestowed on archaeological projects in China.
The top 10 projects of 2022 were chosen from 22 finalists through ballots from the 21-people judge panel, which are composed of the country's top-tier scholars. They were outstanding examples of nearly 1,700 archaeological projects that were conducted nationwide last year.
