I found out that this magazine existed when K and I attended a lecture at the Penn Museum a few weeks ago. I looked it up online and ordered a back issue to check it out. It was really fun to read, all full-color glossy. I feel like it gave me a sense of what's going on in the archaeology world without having to delve into a thick book--which, you know, isn't a problem for me either, but the magazine provides a broader look at more material. In this issue, I read about bog bodies (nothing I didn't know, but bog bodies are awesome), India's village of the dead (a Stonehenge-like village in the middle of nowhere that I'd never even heard of), war in ancient Peru, the probability of humans discovering sailing during the Ice Age, and a whole story about a deceptive documentary aired on the History channel. Scandal! It's a bi-monthly magazine, so six issues a year plus some occasional special issues. There's a Mayan special issue coming out in November--I preordered it even though it won't arrive before our trip. I'm considering subscribing.
