The study of paleoecologic processes through geologic time requires careful analysis of the stratigraphic distribution of fossils. Collections from stratigraphic units of varying thickness provide data needed to describe the spatial and temporal patterns of fossil species, populations, and paleocommunities. Obviously, collections that have broad stratigraphic spacing will reveal only long-term trends. Narrowing the stratigraphic distance between collections may reveal some aspects of shorter term biological processes, but it is well established (Gould, 1980; Schindel, 1980; McCall and Tevesz, 1983) that the lower limit of paleontologic resolution is reached when biological processes operate more quickly than the rate of formation of final undisturbed bedding units.

This article offers a quantitative analysis of wealth inequality in the Ottoman Empire, employing data from probate inventories (terekes) of eighteenth-century Kastamonu, a town located in northern Anatolia. Extracting information on wealth levels and personal characteristics of individuals, we estimate aggregate measures of wealth inequality, namely the Gini coefficient, the coefficient of variation, and the wealth shares of the wealthiest 10 and 25 percent of estates. We use regression analysis to identify the time trend of wealth inequality and determine how warfare, significant weather events, macroeconomic variables, and shifts in population characteristics affected it.
