Archaeology - January/February 2024

In this issue

This issue features our annual Top 10 Discoveries of the Year, including magical Mesoamerican offerings, the world’s oldest book, and the ruins of the notorious Roman emperor Nero’s private theater. We also bring you on a journey to the island of Cyprus, where enterprising merchants dominated the lucrative copper trade some 3,500 years ago. Learn how hunter-gatherers survived a 1,000-year megadrought in North America’s Great Basin. And step down into narrow subterranean catacombs where members of Rome’s early Jewish community were buried. In these stories—and so many more—this issue of ARCHAEOLOGY brings the past to life.
