This book examines methods for linking osteo-archaeological data
with historical and environmental sources to shed light on the
living conditions of past populations. Covering all time periods
from prehistory to the 20th century, it aims to construct models
that capture plausible demographic dynamics from highly fragmentary
evidence. Starting from the known in order to explore the unknown,
this book presents a historical view of methods used in the past
and present as well as proposes original ones. The paleodemographic
methods presented in this handbook have been tested on
anthropological and archaeological data and can easily be applied.
This manual represents a fruitful collaboration between historical
demographers and anthropological archaeologists who, with the help
of mathematicians and statisticians, detail research that opens an
important historical dimension to the discipline. Written in a
readily understandable manner, it serves as an ideal resource for
those wishing to interpret ancient bones in demographic terms.
