Official synopsis Publisher
Just what you need if you can’t remember who Kennewick Man was or where Myrtou-Pigadhes is or when the Kassites did their thing. Strangely, it omits to mention the Oxbow People! This edition is an abridged vesion of Bahn’s Penguin Archaeological Guide of 2001, and it has quaintly old-fashioned rounded corners, so will fit easily into a pocket.
