Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Several errors in the early literature discussing life-table analysis of skeletal populations are potentially misleading to the researcher unacquainted with the mathematical methods of palaeodemography. Additional errors document the hazards of borrowing life-table methods and equations from other applications without fully realising their context, interpretation, and the potential restrictions on their use. A simple generalisation of the life-table equations explicitly to reveal their dependence on the entry age and width of the age intervals used will facilitate the correct computation of life tables and readily accommodate the use of unconventional or otherwise non-standard cohorts. A general procedure for computing a life-table for a skeletal population is presented, and a numerical example is included to illustrate the method. Au | ||
