Paleodemography is the field of enquiry that attempts to identify
demographic parameters from past populations (usually skeletal
samples) derived from archaeological contexts, and then to make
interpretations regarding the health and well-being of those
populations. However, paleodemographic theory relies on several
assumptions that cannot easily be validated by the researcher, and
if incorrect, can lead to large errors or biases. In this book,
physical anthropologists, mathematical demographers and
statisticians tackle these methodological issues for reconstructing
demographic structure for skeletal samples. Topics discussed
include how skeletal morphology is linked to chronological age,
assessment of age from the skeleton, demographic models of
mortality and their interpretation, and biostatistical approaches
to age structure estimation from archaeological samples. This work
will be of immense importance to anyone interested in
paleodemography, including biological and physical anthropologists,
demographers, geographers, evolutionary biologists and
statisticians.
