Ecological and biodemographic perspectives on human population history emphasize changes in health and disease as key drivers of macrodemographic change. However, the approaches that demographers and archaeologists have taken to modeling the epidemiologic and demographic sequelae of food insecurity on one hand and infectious disease on the other differ in several noteworthy respects: Models addressing subsistence sufficiency and stress have tended to accommodate frequent changes in food...
Everything is not yet lost: Modeling taphonomic bias in a Bayesian survival-analytic framework (2016)
The time-transgressive loss of archaeological, paleontological, and other geological deposits to destructive geomorphic processes has been parametrically modeled by T. Surovell and colleagues (2009), with minor revisions offered by A. Williams (2012). We expand on these modeling efforts in an explicitly survival-analytic framework, employing analytical techniques tailored to the study of time-to-event processes and data. First we show that Surovell and colleagues’ model is in fact a reduced...
