Journalist
and Author
I’m Roger Atwood.
I write about art, archaeology and culture for a wide variety of publications,
often from Latin America or the Middle East. I’m a Contributing Editor for Archaeology magazine and a Correspondent for ARTnews. Welcome to my homepage - it’s about the only place I stand still.
