This interdisciplinary approach reveals the demographic constraints of the Etruscan city-states and how the Etruscans coped with them, during a time of profound transformation. As the Etruscans were being integrated into Rome's growing empire and were experiencing staggering military losses, cultural issues – such as long-standing marriage and burial customs – were subject to change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book is divided into 4 parts, and the first outlines the theoretical models (namely model life tables and analysis) that are used to present interpretations on ancient demography. The other three parts concern main life events, starting with the theme of mortality, and then moving on to nuptiality, and concluding with fertility. The epigraphic and archaeological material shows a world in which the Etruscans attached great importance to the major rituals of life, and how they used these events to adapt to societal and political changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlexis Daveloose\u003c\/b\u003e is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Archaeology at Ghent University, Belgium.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350560086\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333864980620,"sku":"9781350560086","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_859aedea-5c44-41c0-a0d1-5e935890f306.jpg?v=1783617261","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350560086","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
