Option 1

 * Article title
 * Bioarchaelogy
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is informative and relevant to topic. Each subcategory is detailed, concise, and all subcategories have an equal amount of information. Although the information presented is great, there are no pictures featured for this article. Due to the lack of photos, it allows the reader to lose interest and not fully grasp the concept of bioarchaeology.

"Chronological metamorphosis of the auricular surface of the ilium: a new method for the determination of adult skeletal age at death".

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gender archaeology
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is informative, but more information is needed. The article is very concise for page on an archaeological sub-field. There is very little information on theory compared to the other sub-categories. The featured photo has no caption, only the title is given. Also, more photos are needed to portray the concept of gender archaeology.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Zooarchaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article provides adequate information on the topic. There is an equal distribution of information per each sub-category. I did not detect any grammatical errors throughout the article. Pictures are provided that give examples of zooarchaeology and the captions details information on each photo. There is even links to discover how zooarchaelogy overlaps with other fields like biology and geology.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Feminist archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is informative and provides sufficient information on the topic. There are no photos featured and the article is crosslisted with feminism. Some sub-categories contain more information than others in the article. For example, the sub-category on on-going feminist contibutions to archaeology is brief and needs to feature more information.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Media Archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is short and there is little information present on this topic. There are no photos provided and there are no subcategories. The article provides little on the actual archaeology aspect of media archaeology. The article mainly addresses the theory behind the topic by film and cultural scholars.
