6.		The Cambridge Illustrated History of Archaeology from Cambridge University Press Price: $34.65 Customer Review: This is a terrific overview of the how the science of archaeology developed from medieval times.

7.		Chauvet Cave: The Discovery of the World's Oldest Paintings from Thames & Hudson Ltd Price: $27.44 Customer Review: High on my "bucket list" of places to visit before I die is Chauvet Cave, in the Rhone Valley of France.

10.		Journey Through the Ice Age from University of California Press Price: $169.00 Customer Review: I wasn't sure whether this book or "Prehistoric Art: The Symbolic Journey of Humankind" by Randall White would be better, so I bought them both. It turns out that they are both excellent books. Both are loaded with color photographs of artifacts famous and less well-known. Both have scholarly,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
