Hypothesis
The speed of depopulation in the prehistoric SW/NW region will be positively associated with an increased amount of human insecurities.
Note
Human insecurities were measured from lowest (1) to highest (5) in economic, food, health, environmental, person, community, and political. The speed of depopulation is measured by the number of years of decline from lowest (1) to highest (5). Only 5 of the 9 culture areas were included in the "depopulation speed" data.
