Abstract

A new simulation model has been constructed to estimate demographic processes of prehistoric human populations who migrated and dispersed, particularly to uninhabited habitats; this model simultaneously treats fertility, mortality, and migration, taking the carrying capacity of the land into account. Our preliminary trials have produced satisfactory results. The applicability of this model to historical reconstructions is also discussed.
