Any ideas on what might be causing this? > This is what I'd expect base on the documentation. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/generic-views/#django-views-generic-date-based-archive-index says date_list is "A list of datetime.date objects representing all years that have objects available according to queryset. These are ordered in reverse. This is equivalent to queryset.dates(date_field, 'year')[::-1]." Looking up queryset.date ( http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#dates-field-kind-order-asc), when you specify kind as "year", it says what will be generated is a list of all distinct year values for the field. The example for kind="year" shows datetime.date value of Jan 1 for the single year in the example set (the full set in the example has multiple dates in the same year). Note the only significant value in the datetimes returned is the year, but the month and day have to have values set to something (since Python doesn't support a datetime.date with only the year part specified), so they are arbitrarily set to 1 and 1. This does not mean there is necessarily any instance in the queryset that has that exact date, it simply means there is at least one (perhaps more) instance within the queryset with a date in that year.
