RT Journal Article T1 A preliminary approach to Early Iron Age demography. Testing paleodemographic methodologies on a microspatial scale: the case of Punta de Muros (NW Iberia) A1 Nión Álvarez, Samuel K1 NW Iberia K1 Early Iron Age K1 Household archaeology K1 Paleodemography K1 Iron Age AB This paper presents an approach to the paleodemography of the Iron Age in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, choosing a microspatial study focused on the settlement of Punta de Muros. This settlement provides an excellent context for paleodemographic analysis, given the extent of its archaeological record, the chronological studies of its occupational dynamics and its condition as a fully excavated settlement. This work aims to review several demographic techniques in order to assess their weaknesses and strengths and their applicability to the case of study. Thus, the data obtained will be analysed from the point of view of their appropriateness and precision for Early Iron Age societies of the northwest, relating the results by means of several demographic markers and the archaeological data known for the settlement PB Elsevier SN 2352-409X YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30301 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30301 LA eng NO Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports 48 (2023) 103832 DS Minerva RD 23 abr 2026
