Can anyone suggest a few books about the development of ANE populations?
Urbanization of early bronze/iron ages.

I'd think the 3-4 books on Logos.com meet your description:

Most discussions are chapters on other books, plus journals.
The one I'm amazed by right now:
https://www.logos.com/product/7136/bread-wine-walls-and-scrolls
which has a large section on demographics in Palestine ... the wild swings in urban populations, coming into the iron, and then Assyria's machinations even in Judea.
Thank-you for the search items.
I have the bread/wine book. I was looking at getting this one. Maybe I'll give it a shot and if I don't like it I can always return it.
thanks again.
Agree ... that one has a good contributor list.
