Adult mortality in the metropolis of London 1100–1850: A Bayesian view based on osteological data
Our comparison of written sources and osteological data demonstrates their general comparability and highlights the much higher mortality among adults in London than in the rest of England and Wales. We conclude that Bayesian modeling has great potential for recovering true mortality patterns from osteological data.
