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. 410 0$aINED Population Studies,$x2214-2452 ;$v2 606 $aDemography 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 14$aDemography. 615 24$aAnthropology. 615 24$aArchaeology. 676 $a304.609 700 $aSéguy$b Isabelle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058850 702 $aBuchet$b Luc$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438352703321 996 $aHandbook of Palaeodemography$92502738 997 $aUNINA
