Further consideration of the Pecos data reveals two important limitations to paleodemographic reconstruction. First, a significant blas in the age profile of the ceramically dated portion of the skeletal sample raises doubts about the siutability of these data for diachronic studies. Second, Ruff has shown that the original adult ages given for Pecos were systematically overestimated. This biases the age profile and variously affects life table values.
