Part of the acclaimed Making of the Past series, this authoritative volume chronicles the archaeological discoveries, ancient migrations, and technological revolutions — from flint-knapping to bronze-casting — that shaped the foundations of European society, drawing on excavations and artefacts across the continent to reconstruct the lives of peoples who left no written testimony.\n\nStefan Milisauskas presents his material with scholarly rigour tempered by an accessible, narrative-driven style that brings prehistoric communities vividly to life, illustrating how trade networks, burial rituals, monument-building, and agricultural innovation were every bit as sophisticated as those of later civilisations. Richly illustrated with archaeological finds and site photography, the book argues compellingly that prehistoric Europe was not a backdrop to history but its very crucible — leaving the reader to wonder just how much of modern life was quietly decided in the deep, unrecorded past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203116638427,"sku":"2026200014991-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/90c573c3-0632-4406-af3e-ef2250603cfe.png?v=1788144317","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014991-secondhand-the-making-of-the-past-prehistoric-europe","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
