Books by Paul Bahn

A comprehensive guide through our whole human past that takes the reader on a tour through time and across the globe to every site of archaeological importance.

In this account of Easter Island, Bahn and Flenley explore the archaeology, history, and legends surrounding the fascinating prehistoric culture that called this remote volcanic island home.

Paul Bahn has collected dozens of fun tales from the trenches to illuminate what actually occurs when archaeologists go into the field.

Every year, archaeology uncovers dozens of fragments that change the way we look at ourselves. This guide covers over three million years of human development across the world - from the emergence of the first humans via the cave paintings of Lascaux to the ancient civilisation of Mesopotamia and prehistoric cultures of Siberia.
