Cave Hunting
William Boyd Dawkins
A cave floor is a buried archive, and William Boyd Dawkins learned to read it. His pioneering work explores the bone-caves of Europe, sorting the layers of ancient animals and early humans sealed in the dark. Founding science of cave archaeology and Ice Age life. For readers thrilled by hyena dens, mammoth bones, and the deep past underground.
