Option 1

 * Article title
 * Archaeology of the Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * Introduction is only one sentence giving brief information about the topic. The overall content of the article is very informative, neutral and had no biases. One thing that could be improved is the post-independence section of the article due to it only have a few sentences. In the talk section people talked about artifacts, people of importance, religion and post-independence. Some references are not working (like mentioned in talk section back in 2018), so I think that should be updated as well.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Archaeology of the post-1500s Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * The introduction of the article talks about the history of the Philippines post-1500s. The context is very informational, but seems a bit biased and can be written in a more neutral way for the reader. Overall the article gives a lot of information about the topic, but like the message at the top of the page, it does feel like an essay rather than most ways Wikipedia articles should be.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Hominization


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a very short introduction and overall short. The content provided is good, but it needs more information about the topic. The introduction mentions how hominization has different contexts within the different fields of anthropology. In the article it only mentions three out of five the fields, paleontology, philosophy and theology, excluding paleoanthropology and archaeology. I think that adding the different contexts of the different fields could help strengthen the article. Also adding more sources to back up the information.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Medieval Archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The introduction is concise giving an informative background of the topic. The contents are short, but with the given information provided it fits the topic. Finding more sources about medieval archaeology in areas around the world might help the reader get interested about those places.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Psychic Archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The introduction gave a thorough background of the topic. The context had a well amount of methods used within the field and specific archaeological sites. A thing that could be added about some people that were mentioned in the article stating brief discoveries they found or contribution aside from the general links about them.
