 Archaeology Magazine August 8, 2010

Despite the arrogant and pompous attitudes and opinions of many of the academian archaeologists, this is a wonderful magazine. Many of them don't have a clue!
Ahhhh ... my favorite magazine July 22, 2010

I'm not an archaeologist. If I was born redundantly wealthy I think that I might have been one.
Archaeology is my "stop everything and read it on the day it arrives" magazine. I've been a subscriber for years. I read EVERY article. As a reader of archaeology and paleontology tomes, this magazine is the adjunct to my selections of books to read. My wife and I have planned vacations around Archaeology's articles. I've detoured business trips to take in a visit to several article sites.
During a cross country moving event 7 years ago, I let the subscription expire for lack of new address. Someone from Archaeology, not a telemarketer for sure, called me and said that I had been such a long term customer that they really wanted to know why I didn't renew ... was it something about the magazine quality? The voice on the other end was just so dang disappointed as she pleaded for feedback that it was stunning enough for me to remember 7 years later. The magazine must be read by a small but dedicated subscriber base and I think the magazine staff themselves makes the calls.
My only complaint is that it only prints every 2 months. If archaeology is among your interests, you would entertain your fancies with a subscription.

"Archaeology" is one of my favorite magazines; for several years it has kept me up to date on new finds (and revisions of the accepted learning on old finds) in straight forward and easily understood language. One of the great strengths of the articles is the short histories that put the current article into its cultural and scientific framework; it's then easy to do further research, either in the past issues or in suggested additional reading.
The magazine started an outstanding, award winning blog, in June 2008. It offers access to the current edition and to all of the past posts, an wonderful source of additional information on a subject that captures your fancy.
There is information on recent museum exhibits, new finds from the field, and technological innovation. Bloggers include the Archaeological Institute of America's (AIA) online editorial director, experts from around the world, and others working in the field. Readers are encouraged to comment, and some very interesting threads have developed over the past two years.
The magazine, and its associated blog, make great reading for anyone interested in archaeology.

I ordered this magazine subscription as a birthday present for my father. He is an armchair archaeologist and has thoroughly enjoyed reading this magazine. It has great world coverage of different events without being so academic as to bore the lay reader. The articles are thorough and interesting. I can't say that archaeology has interested me in the past, but I find myself looking forward to each magazine and read it cover to cover. I definitely recommend this magazine.
