The Paleolithic Period
An informational text/overview reading about the Paleolithic period. It focuses on early humans and tools like handaxes and Clovis points, as well as cave art and rock art, portable objects, and a case study about authenticity (about the Tequixquiac sacrum from Mexico). For ease of reading, the text is in one full-color PDF and is similar to a textbook chapter. It is beautifully illustrated with photographs, many taken on-site, to make the ancient Shang dynasty come alive.
