The Stillwater burial population was not an ideal candidate for a paleodemographic study because:
A) the Stillwater burial population consisted almost entirely of adults; because children were not represented, little could be said about the paleodemography of the population.
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.
