There aren't too many scholarly journals that can be read recreationally; one of them is the Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR).

This month, the BAR updated one of its best features, "Archaeology Confirms 50 Real People in the Bible." Three new ones have been discovered. BAR's new feature "53 People in the Bible Confirmed Archaeologically" makes fascinating reading.
