What was the life excpectancy for people?

Birth was done in the mothers bed at the home. For every 1,000 births, 14.4 are maternal deaths. Caesaeean sections are preformed if the mother died; the child is exctracted from the womb with a hook if the child died. At the age seven, girls, and boys became more responcilbe and must do tasks. Boys help men with farmwork while girls helped with the  house work and younger children. Most people died from diseases. I can't believe they died that young!


Girls got married in their late- teens and early twenties. Boys married in their early twenties. Once someone has reached the age of 20-30 this means they can live up to 60 and passed the highest sussectancy to diease. Our people in our time now can live longer than 60. People usually die where they were born(at home in bed) They were placed in a coffin and buried, just like people now.
