Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a must for all palaeodemographers and biological statisticians.' International Journal of Osteoarchaeology
'Paleodemography has a checkered history and this book will mark a milepost.' American Journal of Human Biology
'There are many excellent aspects of this well-produced book, not least the standardisation of terminology and notation across the contributions which makes the statistical reasoning less impenetrable than would otherwise be the case.' Journal of Human Evolution
Book Description
In this book, physical anthropologists, mathematical demographers, and statisticians tackle 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.
