Tired of the airbrushed images of archaeologists in TV documentaries? Want the dirt on what REALLY happens on a dig? Paul Bahn has collected dozens of fun tales from the trenches to illuminate what actually occurs when archaeologists go into the field. He reveals startling episodes with dangerous situations, other dangerous archaeologists (sometimes unclothed), dangerous animals large and small, and cans of beer large and small. The stories that don’t appear in the official reports have made their way into this small, humorous volume. Includes cartoons by noted illustrator Bill Tidy.
Paul Bahn is one of the world’s leading writers of popular archaeology. With a Ph.D. from Cambridge University, he has for the past three decades written extensively on European prehistory, rock art and Easter Island. He is coauthor of one of the leading textbooks in the field and has written several best-sellers in the field including Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction and The Bluffer’s Guide to Archaeology.,
Bill Tidy is a universally-known illustrator and cartoonist who often works on archaeological topics. He has illustrated over 70 books, including several with Paul Bahn. His cartoon strips The Fosdyke Saga and The Cloggies appeared for decades in major English publications and on the BBC.
