Archaeology Magazine

Archaeology Magazine: In early spring, some people’s hearts turn to thoughts of love and ardor. For some, their hearts may turn to thoughts of archaeological digs in Albania, ancient Cyrene, and even Bolivia. For those in the latter category, the website of Archaeology Magazine should be a most welcome find. The site has a number of fine features, including interactive digs of George Washington’s distillery and the city of Sagalassos in modern-day Turkey. The online essays offered here are all quite interesting, and they run the gamut from extended pieces on the ongoing antiquities trials in Rome to critical reviews of recently-published works on Crete and other well-known sites. Visitors who are looking for back issues of the magazine will not be disappointed, as the site contains selected articles from issues dating back to 1996. For those who want to stay abreast of the most recent archaeological news, the homepage has a “Latest News” section, which is updated every weekday."
