Living in the Ice Age

April 28, 2024
REVIEW BY AB What was life like for the inhabitants of Europe in the last Ice Age? How did they make their clothes? Did children play with toys? What was their relationship with dogs? These are just some of the questions that prehistory experts Elle Clifford and Paul Bahn set out to answer in their new book about the Upper Palaeolithic. Living in the Ice Age is a short, accessible publication aimed at younger readers. As such, 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.
