It is certain that conditions of Native Americans was worsened by the interaction with and exploitation by the Europeans. So you didn't agree with the abstract I copied in my post?

The debris density is probably the best indication of the former population. If you were to estimate the population of Santa Clara prior to a die-off of 80% of the population, you could surmise it from the number of dwellings, vehicles and other infrastructure remnants.

European settlers introduced new diseases. That would be at least part of it.
