Paleodemographic Formulas
Sex Ratio = Males / Females (expected ~1.0)
Juvenility Index = Subadults / (Subadults + Adults)
Crude Death Rate = 1000 / Life Expectancy at Birth
Living Pop = Burials * Life Expectancy / Duration
Paleodemographic analysis of burial populations provides insight into health, disease, and social structure. Life expectancy estimates use simplified life table methods. The juvenility index reflects childhood mortality and fertility rates. Sex ratios deviating from 1:1 may indicate differential burial practices.
