American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1969
AbstractData on porotic hyperostosis (usually from thalassemia or sicklemia) and on morphology as related to differential survival and fertility in Early Neolithic Nea Nikomedeia (N over 90) and Middle Bronze Age Lerna (N = 234) show (a) the importance of disease, mainly falciparum malaria, in determining fertility, (b) the irregular fit between ...

Controversy on paleodemography
International Journal of Anthropology, 1990Recent discussion expressed in scientific literature proves that these exist some reservations about the role of paleo-demographic investigation in general Phrehistoric research. This concerns mostly the congitive value of the results gained in paleodemography. This misunderstanding should be cleared up.

Paleodemography: Expectancy and false hope
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1996From parent populations (N = 50,000) stochastically generated, representing different levels of correlation (r) between the age at death and a hypothetical biological indicator (r = 0.8-0.98), reference samples and target demographic samples are randomly drawn.

Paleodemography: Critiques and Controversies
American Anthropologist, 1985Recent criticism of paleodemographic methods (Bocquet‐Appel and Masset 1982) has centered on biases introduced by the nature of reference samples and the population‐specificity of techniques for estimating age in skeletal remains. This paper examines five key arguments concerning this bias and alleged imprecision from the perspective of life table ...

Paleodemography: “Not quite dead”
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 1994AbstractAs Kim Hill1recently noted inEvolutionary Anthropology, humans are unique among the hominoids with regard to the length of their lives, as well as other elements in the individual life histories. The evolutionary details that modified a basic pongid life history into a hominid one remain obscure, but aspects of recent human demographic history ...

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1969
AbstractAccurate identification of every skeleton (age, sex, health, female fecundity) in a fully sampled cemetery provides data on adult longevity, infant and child death ratios, sex ratio, fertility and birth, death, and natural increase rates, population density, family structure and microevolutionary selection.

Revisiting Hohokam Paleodemography
American Antiquity, 2015Archaeological evidence documents apparent depopulation of the Hohokam region of Southern Arizona at the end of the Classic period (A.D. 1150-1450). Major population centers were no longer occupied, and many distinctive material culture traits associated with the Hohokam tradition seem to disappear.

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.

Paleodemography of the Libben Site, Ottawa County, Ohio
Science, 1977The Libben site, a Late Woodland ossuary and occupation site from the Great Black Swamp of northern Ohio has yielded a well-preserved skeletal sample of 1327 articulated individuals. The outstanding preservation and completeness of the site and the utilization of an exhaustive aging methodology make this the largest and most comprehensively censused ...
