The Contemporaneity Problem
Informal impressions or formal estimates of the size of prehistoric populations are often distorted by counting as if contemporary remains that, although dating to the same general period, were not in fact contemporary in a strict sense. In this paper, I evaluate a number of methods for mitigating this problem and propose a new solution. In the process, fundamental questions are raised concerning the nature of period boundaries, the life-cycles o…
Estimating Past Population Trends
A review of methods used to estimate past population trends and the theoretical models implicit in these methods is presented. The review is concerned both with efforts to estimate the size of a target population at a given moment in time and with efforts to examine population growth over time. Topics covered include paleo-demography, the study of artifacts and food remains, habitation space, resource potential models, and trend analysis
Two Models of Population Growth
Two simple models of the ecology of population growth are described: "exponential" growth with "r-selection," and "logistic" growth, with "K-selection." Various methods for estimating the parameters of these models are presented in detail, along with statistical methods of evaluation and comparison. Also briefly discussed are more complex models of population growth sometimes used by demographers and ecologists. The two simpler models of populati…

A Preliminary Report on the Excavations at Tepe Sharafabad, 1971
The Elamite civilization of SW Iran represents one of the earliest geographically diverse literate empires in the world. During the 2nd millennium B.C. that part of the Elamite civilization situated in and around the ancient city of Susa (the Susiana plain) experienced a growth of population to unprecedented levels, as well as significant political and economic change. Tepe Sharafabad, already an ancient prehistoric mound, was the site of one of …
