These files contain data, data description, and replication files to reproduce the results of the paper 'Lifecycle Land Decumulation Strategies in a Seventeenth-Century Rural Community'. In the paper, we reconstruct annual land distribution within a seventeenth-century village, and show that despite high land market dynamism, aggregate distribution did not change much. Using a lifecycle analysis, we show that the land market was not used to consolidate land but achieve optimal smaller farms and estates.
