nitra: Life table example


Description

The Early Neolithic cemetery of Nitra is one of the best published data sets of the Linearbandkeramik (LBK). The individuals were analysed by J. Jelínek (published in Pavúk 1972) and many decades later also bei L. Fibiger (Bickle/Whittle 2013, 139ff. Tab. 4.15) and in more detail by Z. Tvrdý 2016. We follow here the determinations by L. Fibiger.

Format

A data frame with 4 variables and 75 observations

  • no: individual

  • sex: sex determination if available

  • age_start: start of the ageing interval

  • age_end: end of the ageing interval (inclusive)
