Paleodemography: Age Distributions from Skeletal Samples (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology) Book

There are many methodological and theoretical problems in reconstructing demographic structure from archaeological populations. Paleodemography is an innovative volume which tackles these issues head on from a range of perspectives, and sets out to reach a consensus on the way forward. Covering topics ranging from estimation of age from skeletal samples to estimating mortality profiles from past populations, this book will be the benchmark for biological anthropologists, demographers and statisticians interested in skeletal samples and their implications for past populations.Read More

  • Product Description

    In this book, physical anthropologists, mathematical demographers, and statisticians tackle 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.
