A Fairweather Eden
Excavations at Boxgrove
Book •

Mike Pitts presents the site's artifacts, faunal remains, and stratigraphy to reconstruct hominin activity and environments half a million years ago.
The book balances technical archaeological evidence with broader narratives about human evolution and landscape use.
Pitts discusses excavation techniques, interdisciplinary analysis, and the interpretive challenges of deep-time archaeology.
The work is aimed at both scholars and informed general readers interested in prehistoric archaeology.
