We started publishing compilations of our Bulletin articles in 1999 when issues 1-12 went out of print. PT I was our first book and has been widely acclaimed and continues to be a leading title in the field.  PT II is a companion compilation which allowed us to offer all of the articles from Bulletins 1-12 in two handy volumes. We next compiled Practicing Primitive and A View To The Past by two of our former Society of Primitive Technology presidents, Steve Watts and Scott Jones. PT I  & II and Practicing Primitive are available directly from the Bulletin shopping cart for $25 plus shipping and handling. A View to The Past  is available from amazon.com.

While the Society of Primitive Technology was operating, it authorized the production of two special publications by Founding President, Errett Callahan - Old Rag Archeology: Experimentation and Excavation and  The Cahokia Pit House Project: A Case Study in Reconstructive Archeology. Both books are available only in CD format with a short synopsis cover book. If you are interested in either of these titles, please contact the Bulletin of Primitive Technology.
