'[A] short, accessible publication aimed at younger readers... the book offers an informative overview of many elements of life 40,000 to 12,000 years ago (particularly those related to children and families), busting old myths, and introducing an array of archaeological methods and concepts in a fun and engaging way. Helpfully illustrated with colourful maps, reconstruction drawings and photos, this book will doubtless capture the imaginations of younger readers and those new to the subject.' – Amy Brunskill (2024): Current Archaeology
