Question 9

Multiple Choice

B) paleodemography works best with skeletal samples derived from different biological populations, and the Stillwater burials represented only one biological population.
C) paleodemography works best with a skeletal sample representing only a few years or decades, and the Stillwater burials dated to a time period of 600 years or longer.
D) most of the individuals in the Stillwater burial population were older than 50 years old, and so younger adults were not represented.
