Softcover. Zustand: As New. pp. xii, 259. 8vo. Appears unread, contents bright, clean, and unmarked with tight, sound binding; As new. "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."

This work will be of immense importance to anyone interested in paleodemography, including biological and physical anthropologists, demographers, geographers, evolutionary biologists and statisticians. Many methodological and theoretical problems exist in reconstructing demographic structure from archaeological populations. Paleodemography is an innovative volume which tackles these issues to reach a consensus on the way forward. It will be the benchmark for all those interested in skeletal samples and their implications for analysing past populations. This item is printed on demand.
