In this survey, the authors provide a comprehensive list of statements of real analysis of one variable that are equivalent to the completeness, or to the Archimedean property, of totally ordered fields. There are 72 characterizations of completeness and 42 characterization of the Archimedean property. Some of these statements include basic theorems for which the equivalence is well-known, some other ones are more unusual and do not seem to have previously been mentioned in this context, in which case complete proofs are provided.
