Learning something from the past

That's what they do at Archaeology magazine. The Jan/Feb edition features several excellent articles worth checking out, including a reconstruction of the lives of laborers on the Hacienda Tabi, a plantation in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, as well as a history of board games amongst the upper classes of medieval northern Europe.

This is what history is about. The everyday lives and activities of people. And Archaeology does it in jargon-free way.
