 The lives of ancient peoples June 27, 2006

5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a subscriber to Archaeology and quite enjoy the articles about ancient history and how peoples may have lived. Unlike National Geographic, which also covers other social topics, Archaeology focuses mostly on the peoples of the past. In particular, I enjoyed the articles written about the celts.
I think there has been a large focus of late on mummy bundles, South America, and underwater archaeology, and would like to see more diversity. I particularly enjoy artist illustrations of how people might've looked and what the items looked like when they were first created.
I admit I'm less interested in the lives of archaeologists, and the discussions of looting (which I find depressing), or discussions of current politics or recent archaelogy (such as civil war era).
I highly recommend this magazine to those interested in learning more about the past.
Covers the Gamut, Well Detailed, Objective and Thoroughly Interesting! February 27, 2007

ARCHAEOLOGY Magazine, a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America, is a well rounded, interesting and exciting magazine, rich in content, photography, as well as the option to order back issues that cover any area or interest you have that was previously published.
I love the objective perspective written, and find the content to be thorough. If you are interested in archeology, I give this particular magazine my highest recommendation.
A Must Read for Armchair Archaeologists April 25, 2003

Archaeology magazine gives the non-specialist a look into the fascinating world of archaeology. It is written in laymen's terms and on a level that assumes some general knowledge of famous archaeological sites without delving into minutiae that might be boring to some readers. There are excellent articles with a more than adequate amount of detail. The articles are usually copiously illustrated with colour photos. There are also very useful book reviews at the end of every issue. I have bought several books based on the recommendations given by these reviews. I've subscribed for two years and I was so impressed with the magazine that I bought the last ten years of back issues on Eb*y in order to have a reference library of my own.
Perfect reading for closet archeologists October 22, 2003

The magazine on a whole is full of educational material, but it was the articles and editorials by Professor Bob Brier that made me buy the magazine at the book store. Now I have the subsciption and the only thing that could make me happier is having the magazine published every month, instead of bi-monthly.
 Very Enjoyable - Well Worth the Purchase August 26, 2007

If you are not a professional archaeologist, but interested in archeology, this is the magazine for you. It covers all areas of archeology and is written in an interesting, but technically comprehensible manner. I look forward to each issue.
