Paleodemography and Historical Demography in the Context of an Epidemic
Population (english edition), 2002 This article sheds an entirely new light on the study of the plague thanks to contributions from disciplines that are only seldom brought together around the same research topic: anthropology, archaeology, historical demography, history, microbiology and paleodemography.

A Fully Bayesian Approach to Adult Skeletal Age Estimation: Multivariate Latent Trait Modeling With Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolOrdered probit regression is used as a latent trait model, with age at death estimated from a Gompertz distribution. Combined with Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, this approach eliminates the need for reference priors for transition ages or population parameters.

Paleodemography: “Not quite dead”
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 1994 AbstractAs 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 ...

Demography, Including Paleodemography
, 2023 Demography 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.
