Synopsis "recent advances in palaeodemography: data, techniques, patterns"
Written data used by demographers essentially covers the last five centuries. To tackle earlier demographic issues, we need to draw on sources and techniques other than those commonly used by demographers. This means using information from archeology, physical anthropology, paleontology, primatology, and genetics, along with relevant models of interpretation. This book has been developed from a core of papers selected for the paleodemographic session of the 25th World Population Congress held in July 2005. It covers recent paleodemographic innovations in data, techniques, and the detection of patterns that make it possible to examine previously unknown prehistoric demographic processes. The book is fascinating reading for physical anthropologists, archeologists, bioarcheologists, demographers, and historical demographers.
