Hi Melonie,
You may have already seen this, but, it might be worth a look. It might
suggest places where archaeological evidence could be found.

Hi,
Although much earlier in terms of period a good starting place is the work
of Jo Appleby as some of the ideas are applicable:
Appleby, J. 2011. Bodies, burials and ageing: the temporality of old age in
prehistoric societies. Oxford Journal of Archaeology 30(3), 231-246.
Appleby, J. 2010. Why We Need an Archaeology of Old Age, and a Suggested
Approach. Norwegian Archaeological Review 43(2), 145-168.
Yours
Craig Cessford
