Household Structure in Fourteenth-Century Macedonia

Using data obtained from a fourteenth-century Serbian charter granting six villages to the monastery of Chilandar Athos the author examines the kinship structure of 127 households from that part of medieval Serbia now known as Yugoslav Macedonia. Household size and kinship structure are analyzed as a function of the length of the domestic cycle. The effects on this cycle length of post-marital residence net replacement rate sex ratio age at marriage and availability of land for expansion are investigated (ANNOTATION)
