Abstract
This paper is a demographic reconstruction of the social structure of Serbian peasant society in the nineteenth society with particular emphasis on developmental changes in the household. Using tools borrowed from the demographic analysis of mid-twentieth century societies, the authors attempt to estimate the ecological and demographic parameters in force at the time of the First Revolt of Serbs against their Turkish rulers in 1804, and to see how social structures might have functioned in that setting (p. 2). Much of the demographic reconstruction contained in this work is based on the statistical analysis of various types of records such as the census of Orasac in 1863, brief data on household heads for the period of 1818-1831, the Ottoman lists from 1528 and other fourteenth century reports. In addition these records have been supplemented with data obtained from oral traditional histories.
