Review: 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...

Cons: Only comes out twice a year, average 75 pages.

The Bottom Line: A quality magazine for people who like to learn when they read.

So said Sterling Dow (1948) founder of archaeology magazine,...

Pros: Has a website, beautiful pictures, good articles

Cons: bi-monthly - I'd prefer once a month

Review: 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...

Pros: good mix of light, short pieces and deeper, longer articles

Cons: only 6 issues per year!

Pros: Creative layout, concise and easy-to-read articles, fascinating stories

Cons: needs more pages

The Bottom Line: Yes, definitely. It is as interesting as Discover and National Geographic.

Review: 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.

Pros: It is well researched and easy to understand.

Cons: Be sure your reading glasses are strong enough.

Pros: Intelligent, well researched, clearly written.

Cons: Some design and layout flaws.

The Bottom Line: A few design and layout flaws can't overwhelm this fine journal. Intelligent and well researched. A must for anyone interested in archaeology.

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...

Pros: Beautiful pictures, informative articles in the field

Cons: Might be difficult to comprehend for those that aren't educated in archaeology, but readable and enjoyable

Pros: Diverse subjects, very well written, very interesting

Cons: articles sometimes very short

Review: If you like to learn or read about ship wrecks, icemen or buried cities I think you will enjoy Archeology. It is a good magazine. I really enjoyed the articles about Napoleon in Egypt, and the valley of the lost mummies. They talk about very...
