Abstract

Skeletal material from the village of Isupovo was found during the excavations of the village cemetery. The formation of this necropolis began in the 17th century and continued for two centuries. Our work is devoted to the paleodemographic study of the population of the village of Isupovo in the 17th–18th centuries, according to sex and age determination of the skeletal material. As a result of our studies, we could draw the following conclusion. The demographic situation in the village of Isupovo in the 17th–18th centuries can be considered quite prosperous, as evidenced by a the high average life expectancy, a relatively low infant mortality rate, a significant representativeness of the older age cohort, and low mortality rate at younger ages.
