| dc.subject | Prehistoric demography, as the study and analysis of
prehistoric populations, attempts to generate absolute numbers
of peop~e living within a particular spatial area and
temporal period. In addition to determining numbers of a
given population, paleodemography also attempts to determine
average lifespan, sex ratios, and mortality rates for different
age groups. Unlike the study of modern populations,
the problems of ascertaining the various aspects of a prehistoric
population are much more complex and unfortunately
have, in the past, b~en treated rather subjectively by
archaeologists. One of the purposes of this paper is to look
at some of the different methods that have been devel~ped in
the past few years for determining population size in a more
objectiva manner, if only in te~ms of models for discussion
of changes in population through time. Also, the author
hopes to point out the errors that have been made in the
past by the subj~ctive evaluation of date. | en |
