| A Must Read for Armchair Archaeologists | |
| 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 for the Amateur Archaeologist | |
| I've always been interested in archaeology. But, except for an intro class in college, I have no formal training in archaeology. I really am just an arm-chair archaeologist, and Archaeology Magazine is perfect for me. The articles are interesting, well-written, detailed and explain the material without a lot of subject specific jargon. It is one of the few magazines that I read every issue cover to cover. Archaeology magazine also offers an amazing range of subjects and time periods within an issue. You can go from dating a Paleolithic site to mining a modern city's garbage dump looking for clues about the recent past all within a single issue. If you are interested in a wide range of archaeology topics and don't want to get a Ph.D just to find out what is happening in the field, then this is the magazine for you. | |
| Perfect reading for closet archeologists | |
| 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. |
