Why Read Popular Archaeology Magazine?

NEW DISCOVERIES ARE CHANGING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT OUR HISTORY.

You can read about them at Popular Archaeology, a digital magazine dedicated to bringing these discoveries out of the field and scholarly journals to you in plain language. As the title suggests, it is the world’s most popular exclusively digital general archaeology magazine. We publish high quality original content for discriminating readers of the general public who have come to expect content similar to what can be found in the major print magazines. Most of our writers and contributors are either pioneering professionals, top experts in their fields, professional journalists, or individuals relating first-hand experiences. Content includes either exclusive personal interview articles or directly authored articles from notable internationally renowned archaeologists such as Salima Ikram, Brian Fagan, Kara Cooney, and many more.  Because the content is produced by a very broad spectrum of contributors, you will see more major feature articles in a single issue than what you would typically find in any other single archaeology-related magazine issue, with the same content quality. And finally, although access to much of our content is free, you get access to our in-depth, premium level articles (our finest content!), including many BACK ISSUE premium articles, for only a nominal $9.00 annually.  See the Anniversary Issue (all articles now FREE), from our past collection to get a feel for what you get.

For a full view of what you get with a subscription, take a glance at our back issues.

Moreover, premium subscribers receive priority notice and opportunity for specialized travel and tours to archaeological sites and attractions throughout the world through Popular Archaeology’s collaborative arrangements with travel and tour operators.
