Introduction

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 1 –9

[Palaeodemography is the study of past populations that have left no or few written documents containing evidence of their demographic behaviour. Its objectives are similar to those of historical demography, the difference being more the nature of sources used than the periods of study. Whereas...

Epistemology of the Discipline

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 13 –30

[The palaeodemographic approach defined here is based on a single source: human bone remains, which are a precious biological archive. As must be done for all historical data, the limits of sources and of their representativeness are discussed, and ideas about age are explored.]
Available

The Osteological Data

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 31 –51

[To adopt an effective demographic approach, anthropologists attempt to determine the age at death and the sex of skeletons, while archaeologists date settlements on the basis of stratigraphic and typological observation. This chapter examines various methods for estimating sex and age at death...
Available

Establishing a Reference Population

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 53 –81

[The grounding of our approach must be broad and stable, so that future research can build upon commonly recognized components. To that end, our work must comply with a few essential rules that are outlined below.]
Available

Age at Death: Current Approaches and Methods

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 85 –98

[To propose a palaeodemographic reconstitution from skeletal data, criteria accessible from historical and archaeological data must be used and, as a demographic study directly based upon archaeological data is not possible, tools must be defined to take account of osteological constraints. This...
Available

Current Demographic Models

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 99 –112

[The purpose of palaeodemographic analysis is to understand the population as it was, within a given socio-environmental context, where the individuals it comprised formed a dynamic group marked by births, deaths and sometimes migrations, and when all we have, at best, is the bones of those who...
Available

Finding the Right Models for Pre-industrial Populations

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 113 –121

[As contemporary model tables, or mathematical models based on current conditions are not the best tools for describing pre-transitional human behaviour, characterized by very high rates of fertility and child mortality, specific models must be developed for preindustrial populations. These...
Available

Model Tables for Pre-industrial Populations

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 123 –141

[Following the previous recommendations and using the linear regression between the logarithms of the probabilities of dying and some palaeodemographic indicators, we propose a network of life tables specially developed for preindustrial populations, under the properties of stable populations,...
Available

Definition and Exploration of a Pre-industrial Standard

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 143 –162

[The previous models are of poor quality for the early ages because of the wide distribution of observed values. In this chapter, life tables are constructed using the logit method, based on the same sample of observed tables and on the mean of the probabilities of dying by age. This model...
Available

Final Overview

Séguy, Isabelle; Buchet, Luc

Pages: 165 –175

[An archaeological excavation has delivered a set of skeletons. What conditions must be met if we wish to use this set of skeletons in a demographic study? And if these conditions are met, what options should be chosen and what are the basic stages in the process? Methodological proposals and...
