Data and analysis for the paper European settlement demography: a boom and bust pattern in Prehistory?

This repository contains the data and the analysis developed in the paper European settlement demography: a boom and bust pattern in prehistory?, as well as all the produced figures. The aim of this paper was to highlight possible patterns in the demographic evolution of prehistoric and protohistoric settlements in Europe. The results of the study allowed us to identify one main pattern for all sites with a quick growth in the population after the site creation for 200 to 300 years, followed by slow decreasing until the site abandonment.
