Prehistoric Babies In The (Bio)Archaeological Record

22nd Neolithic Seminar: Modelling the Processes of Neolithisation - Book of Abstracts, 2015
The whole evolution of human fertility is based only on indirect evidences, such as sites densities and paleodemographic reconstructions, and there is no evidence about number of babies born by prehistoric mothers.
