Archaeology, Volume 53 Number 6, November/December 2000

ARCHAEOLOGY magazine offers compelling narratives about the human past from every corner of the globe. Edited for a general audience, our news, features, and photo essays employ in-depth reporting, cogent analysis, and vivid storytelling to provide an accurate and often surprisingly intimate look at the record of human existence. Our pieces offer insights into the beginnings and ends of cultures, as well as examining the full expression of those cultures. ARCHAEOLOGY's stories share one distinctive trait-they rest on the close investigation of archaeological evidence-of the things, in short, that we leave behind.
