Finding the Right Models for Pre-industrial Populationsr, characterized by very high rates of fertility and child mortality, specific models must be developed for preindustrial populations. These models must be based on a large corpus of tables that are statistically representative of mortality among pre-industrial populations, to propose inputs easily

Final Overviewudy? And if these conditions are met, what options should be chosen and what are the basic stages in the process? Methodological proposals and tools developed in the previous chapters are reviewed in order to define a protocol for palaeodemographic studies.

interlude

Examples of Archaeological Applicationsof palaeodemography, such as the problem of estimating the proportion of under-20s, as well as new research topics, can be explored from four case studies. For two of them, only biological data are available (burial grounds from Late Antiquity comprehensively excavated and covered by thorough histor

Critique of Current Methodstimate the age structure of a population for which they only have biological indicators measured from skeletons. None are able to resolve the statistical problem in a satisfactory way. A more appropriate method would be to use a full Bayesian model, considering the random nature of both the referenc

Current Demographic Models This is no easy task and involves the use of population models and life tables or parametric models. The hypothesis required for such models are recalled and the main life tables actually used by demographers and palaeodemographers are reviewed.
