100 Pages on Prehistory is a volume from the Erickson Encyclopaedia dedicated to the earliest and longest period in human history. This book is perfect for uncovering fascinating facts, debunking myths, and learning about key events, while also serving as a workbook with fun and simple activities to help memorise what has been learned.

The volume features numerous illustrations and in-depth sections that engage both boys and girls, supporting their studies at home as well as in school. At the beginning, it includes a glossary of the most common terms used when talking about Prehistory.

The book opens with five key questions that introduce the concept of prehistory:

  1. What does “Prehistory” mean?
  2. When does it start and end?
  3. How is Prehistory studied?
  4. What are fossils, traces, and artefacts?
  5. How is an archaeological excavation organised?
