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.

Deconstructing death in paleodemography
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2002AbstractIn 1992 in this Journal (Konigsberg and Frankenberg [1992] Am. J. Phys. Anthropol.89:235–256), we wrote about the use of maximum likelihood methods for the “estimation of age structure in anthropological demography.” More specifically, we presented a particular method (the “iterated age‐length key”) from the fisheries literature and suggested ...

Demography, Including Paleodemography
2023Demography is the study of a group's age and sex structure. This chapter focuses on the life table and its continuous form, known as a hazard or survivorship model. For an extant group it may be possible to obtain information on ages-at-death, although generally it is more common to have census information on the living.

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 ...

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 ...
