Population and Demography - World archaeology 30:2 (Paperback)

This text argues that a knowledge of the demographic aspect of human growth is essential if we are to understand the cultural aspects of past societies. This text covers recent work in this field focusing especially on studies of colonization and migration, and the impact of population growth. Using new analytical methods to understand population movement and change in the archaeological record this book expands the half century long debate on the importance of population movements.
