Watch out National Geographic

From the Creators of Archaeology Magazine

November/December Issue of
Archaeology Magazine

Archaeology.org was created by the Archaeological Institution of America (AIA), who also publish Archaeology Magazine. One of the goals of the AIA is to encourage public interest in archaeology.  This website allows interested web browsers to subscribe to this magazine, which earns the AIA money, but also encourages public interest. It contains many outside resources that encourage the viewer to learn more about the field of archaeology, including events, archaeological scholarships, AIA conferences, and exhibitions. The magazine updates the public about archaeology, while keeping them entertained with the content and the beautiful pictures, comparable to National Geographic. 

Instead of flipping through a million magazines in search of a specific topic, the website provides a search bar to search articles. This is a good tool for research or just finding information on topics of interest.

This website contains a unique section named 

“Interactive Dig.” It allows the viewer to search excavations, view pictures of archaeologists at work, and even access the archaeological field notes! Overall, the AIA does a good job trying to spread an interest in archaeology and mixing entertainment with facts.
