A Demographic Study of Aste-Béon (Ossau Valley, Bearn), a Small Community From French Western Pyrenees in the 19th Century
Objectives
To decipher the social behaviors and public health status of a 19th-century small Western Pyrenean community using various historical demography data.
Methods
From censuses, civil and parish registers of births, marriages, and deaths/burials, migration archives, and administrative records, we analyzed a series of demographic parameters in the village of Aste-Béon between 1801 and 1900.
Results
Acknowledging the limitations of such a historical demography approach (especially losses of data and underreporting of deaths of very young individuals), this study enabled us to draw a series of conclusions. We observed the usual demographic pattern shared by all Pyrenean communities, with a declining population during the second part of the century. A strong influence of agropastoral activity and Catholic practices on the social organization of this community was evidenced by the seasonality of conceptions and marriages. The disappearance of the traditional family and inheritance system at the end of the century was illustrated by a decreased age at marriage and a declining nuptiality rate. We confirmed the very high level of valley endogamy associated with a relatively intense degree of intra-valley marriage-associated mobility. A series of mortality crises related to epidemics (some cases documented: cholera, smallpox, and dysentery) was detected. Migration to Argentina and Uruguay was organized, especially between 1866 and 1872, including mainly nonfirstborn males who did not inherit familial property. The relatively low infant mortality rate, satisfactory lifespan, and absence of detectable increases in mortality during the winter months and periods of food scarcity argue in favor of a quite satisfactory sanitary level.
Conclusions
This historical demography study offers additional insights into the social organization and health status of a unique Western Pyrenean community during the 19th century.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association.
The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field.
The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology.
Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification.
The Journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscripts of unusual interest.
