Konigsberg. 330 $aPaleodemography is the field of enquiry that attempts to identify demographic parameters from past populations (usually skeletal samples) derived from archaeological contexts, and then to make interpretations regarding the health and well-being of those populations. However, paleodemographic theory relies on several assumptions that cannot easily be validated by the researcher, and if incorrect, can lead to large errors or biases. In this book, physical anthropologists, mathematical demographers and statisticians tackle these methodological issues for reconstructing demographic structure for skeletal samples. Topics discussed include how skeletal morphology is linked to chronological age, assessment of age from the skeleton, demographic models of mortality and their interpretation, and biostatistical approaches to age structure estimation from archaeological samples. This work will be of immense importance to anyone interested in paleodemography, including biological and physical anthropologists, demographers, geographers, evolutionary biologists and statisticians. 410 0$aCambridge studies in biological and evolutionary anthropology ;$v31. 606 $aHuman skeleton$xAnalysis 606 $aHuman remains (Archaeology) 606 $aDemographic anthropology 606 $aPaleoanthropology 606 $aDemographic archaeology 606 $aPopulation 606 $aAge distribution (Demography) 615 0$aHuman skeleton$xAnalysis. 615 0$aHuman remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aDemographic anthropology. 615 0$aPaleoanthropology. 615 0$aDemographic archaeology. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography) 676 $a599.9/47 702 $aHoppa$b Robert D.$f1967- 702 $aVaupel$b James W. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450497403321 996 $aPaleodemography$91899668 997 $aUNINA
