About the Author

Elle Clifford began her career lecturing in social and developmental psychology, and researching stress and women’s reproductive health. She published over a dozen academic papers on these topics. She then acquired a Master’s degree in prehistory at York University with a thesis on cave art and mythological worlds. In recent years Elle has accompanied Paul on visits to more than 50 of the most important decorated caves. They have co-authored two papers on the so-called ‘Lion Man’ figurine of the Ice Age.

Paul Bahn has a PhD in archaeology from Cambridge University, and for decades has been an independent researcher, writing and editing a wide range of archaeological books, including several on Ice Age art. He also lectures on numerous tours to the decorated Ice Age caves.


Chris Packham is well renowned as a naturalist, television presenter, writer, photographer, conservationist, campaigner and filmmaker.

Reviews

'[A] short, accessible publication aimed at younger readers... the book offers an informative overview of many elements of life 40,000 to 12,000 years ago (particularly those related to children and families), busting old myths, and introducing an array of archaeological methods and concepts in a fun and engaging way. Helpfully illustrated with colourful maps, reconstruction drawings and photos, this book will doubtless capture the imaginations of younger readers and those new to the subject.'Amy Brunskill (2024): Current Archaeology

With a foreword by Chris Packham, Living in the Ice Age takes you on a journey through life in Ice Age Europe, and the things you’d need to know to survive. Not only does this lovely little book introduce the uninitiated, it also presents new questions for those more familiar with life in the Ice Age. Be prepared to be surprised by your answers.’ – Simon Norton (2024): World Archaeology #126
