The Bottom Line:
Archeology Magazine brings history to life.
Ruins, ancient cultures, times past ... have always intrigued me. Archeology Magazine is a window into worlds gone by as well as touching on ways to preserve the not so distant past. Let's rediscover the planet!
Description
This magazine is printed on good quality paper and runs about 72 pages an issue.
As you can image, Archeology magazine focuses on the past. The publication is loaded with photography and both short pieces and longer articles. A Table of Contents at the front of the magazine lists the feature articles with a brief description and the page number.
This publication is a product from the Archeological Institute of America. It contains minimal advertising for trips/tours, coin buying, and some health related products.
My Experiences
Our entire family enjoys Archeology Magazine. The covers are always interesting, pulling you right into the feature articles. Some past covers include King Tut, Tombs Discovered, Mayan Artifacts, Mummified Remains, Skulls, Pyramids, Lost Civilizations.
The articles are well written, too. They are not lofty or pretentious. The language flows, drawing the reader into another time. It is easy for me to picture scenery of long ago. The topics are interesting. A recent issue explores the Knights of the Templar, which mentions the History Channel special, Holy Grail in America, and ties in to The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. I also enjoy reading about new discoveries, such as a royal Mayan tomb, the medical scans of King Tut's mummified body and what they reveal, how ancient cultures invented toys as entertainment. Archeology Magazine also explores more recent concerns, such as preserving spacecraft from older NASA missions.
Excellent photography adds to the magazine. The details are incredible. The issue that features the Bog Bodies (mummified remains found in peat marshes) shows intricate detail in each photograph. The cover of the magazine has a beautiful image of one of the bog bodies. I find it intriguing and wonder to the past of the person captured so well on film. My father found the image disturbing and asked my mother to pull the magazine out of his viewing range. The photographs of artifacts reveal their artistry, such detail and precision in their crafting, whether of stone or gold.
Archeology Magazine is also filled with shorter pieces. There is commentary, mention of archeology in the media (ex: television and books). Pieces explore traveling through areas loaded with history, not always apparent to the uninformed eye. There is always something interesting to learn.
When our family is finished with these magazines, I ask my neighbor if she would like them. Often her children have school projects, and these magazines make great resource material. If she doesn't want them, I bring the issues into work where coworkers happily read them during lunch and break times.
The Website
The archeology.org website is definitely worth visiting. It contains some of the magazine content, but not all of it. A few of the articles are full version as seen in the publication. There is unique content found only on the website and not in the magazine. Plus, sometimes there are extended versions of the magazine articles online (extra content included). The website maintains a listing of current news and archeological headlines.
Subscribing
The magazine comes out six times a year. A year subscription costs $21.95, and two years is $37.95.
Summary
Our family (friends and coworkers, too!) enjoy reading Archeology Magazine. The information is well presented, easy to read, and includes great photography. Even if you don't subscribe to the magazine, check out their website to learn more about the world we inherited and those who came before us.
I hope you found this review useful.
