Cover; Half-title; Series-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Contributors; Acknowledgments; 1 The Rostock Manifesto for paleodemography: the way from stage to age; 2 Paleodemography: looking back and thinking ahead; 3 Reference samples: the first step in linking biology and age in the human skeleton; 4 Aging through the ages: historical perspectives on age indicator methods; 5 Transition analysis: a new method for estimating age from skeletons; 6 Age estimation by tooth cementum annulation: perspectives of a new validation study; 7 Mortality models for paleodemography.
Summary: Many methodological and theoretical problems exist in reconstructing demographic structure from archaeological populations. Paleodemography is an innovative volume which tackles these issues to reach a consensus on the way forward. It will be the benchmark for all those interested in skeletal samples and their implications for analysing past populations.
