Do you have the urge to dig and uncover what lies beneath the ground? Have you ever wondered what the world looked like a hundred or a thousand years ago? Do the Egyptian tombs and the Aztec temples fascinate you? If so, archaeology news and everything new about field archaeology and excavation archaeology should be on your agenda. If you do not have the time and luxury to join a class on archaeology or to become one yourself, however, you can settle with the Archaeology Magazine. Here are the ways to get the latest information on the Archaeology Magazine.

  1. Contact the publication. This can be done by sending an e-mail to the magazine at subscription@archaeology.org. Once you have contacted the publication, you can ask about the subscription rates, the promos, as well as the various activities with which the magazine is involved. Since the publication is a part of the Archaeological Institute of America, you may even inquire about some of the projects and events that the Archaeological Institute will undertake or is presently taking. In a number of events you may even be invited to participate, especially in lectures, presentations, and exhibits of the artifacts and other finds that the archaeologists have found.
  2. Contact the webmaster. The web is another easy way for you to get the latest information on the Archaeology Magazine and even where the latest archaeology digs are taking place. Even better, the site provides excellent privacy options to ensure that you will receive only the newsletters that you subscribed for. These newsletters will update you on all of the latest happenings that the magazine has to offer. In some cases, you can even present yourself as a volunteer worker at the archaeology institute. While most of the workers in the institute are professionally trained archaeologists, some have actually worked for a funding to get themselves a university degree that will allow them to professionally pursue the career. The webmaster can be reached through webmaster@archaeology.org.
  3. Visit the magazine. Finally, you can opt to visit the magazine at 3636 33rd Street, in Long Island City, New York 11106. The magazine will entertain all of your questions first hand and will even provide you with a backgrounder on the types of articles that the archaeology magazine is working on in their upcoming issues. If you cannot personally visit the site, however, you can also mail them a letter or simply get a subscription. The subscription is the easiest way for you to ensure that you will be up to date on every project that the Archaeology Magazine is undertaking. Keep in mind that the magazine does pay attention to people who are genuinely interested in archaeology, and forming ties with the institute and the publication can actually be done.

The field of archaeology is nothing if not a science that has chosen to walk on the road less travelled. In fact, some of the roads they are travelling on have not encountered human feet for thousands of years. If you fancy this highly interesting field, get everything you need to know by contacting the Archaeology Magazine and the Archaeology Institute of America.
