Pros Well written, well done publication with fascinating articles.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I am reviewing the May/June 2001 issue of Archaeology, which is a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America. It advertises itself as a magazine of "adventure, discovery, culture, history and travel." The magazine caught my eye not long after I traveled to Mexico because the picture on... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Archaeology is a bountenous, indeed an inexhaustible, subject...there is an abundance for everyone -- providing it is attractively packaged, agreeable to peruse, and valid.

So said Sterling Dow (1948) founder of archaeology magazine, and he was correct. Archaeology magazine contains... Read full review »

Archaeology is a new find. I only recently stumbled across this magazine and added it to my reading list. I read a lot of magazines, and am always looking for new, high quality magazines to enjoy and share with others. This magazine certainly falls into the category of high quality.

Age tells it all!

23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Has a website, beautiful pictures, good articles
Cons bi-monthly - I'd prefer once a month
Recommended it? Yes

Archaeology Magazine is the best of its genre. The articles are clear, concise, and entertaining. I have many back issues of the magazine which have come in very handy in the classroom - as manipulatives, and as incentives. I learned a lot myself from this informative magazine. The photographs are... Read full review »

A Birthday Gift

byTheSmartTraveler Apr 19, 2002
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great for the Archaeologist or Historian.
Cons Difficult to get into if you are not an Archaeologist.
Recommended it? No

My wife received a subscription to Archaeology on her last birthday. We have so far received two issues of this magazine. I have come to the conclusion that Archaeology is for archaeologists or historian eggheads. The stories should be interesting, but the style of writing is so flat and boring... Read full review »

Works for this armchair Indiana Jones

byLiffey Jan 3, 2000
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros good mix of light, short pieces and deeper, longer articles
Cons only 6 issues per year!
Recommended it? Yes

Is this a good magazine for the serious, scholarly archaeological professional? I have no idea. I'm just someone who is fascinated, sometimes obsessed, by sleuthing into the past, but who will probably never come closer to a dig than the pages of this magazine.

Thanks to Archaeology, my... Read full review »

Pros Creative layout, concise and easy-to-read articles, fascinating stories
Cons needs more pages
Recommended it? Yes

Archaeology has always caught my interest, given the amount of time I spent watching Discovery, History and National Geographic channels. This was the first time though that I subscribed to a magazine that catered to Archaeology readers like me.

I was hesitant at first because I wasn't... Read full review »

Pros It is well researched and easy to understand.
Cons Be sure your reading glasses are strong enough.
Recommended it? Yes

Who are we? To know more about ourselves we have to look into the past. If you can't travel the globe to explore and see some of the most spectacular sights from the past for yourself, then travel in comfort with the latest copy of Archaeology.
It's armchair adventure at its best. Curl up in... Read full review »
