“According to head of the Burnt City archeology team Farzad Forouzanfar, men died between the ages of 35 to 45, while women lived well into their 80s.”

Why do men die before their wives?

Because we want to. (Rimshot)

Any word on causes of death?

Well, DUH! Let the women go out there at that age and try to bring down a T. Rex for dinner! That kinda' stuff will wear anyone down, and put you in an early grave!

I’m sure that the major contributor to this difference is war and internal fighting. Women die in childbirth at a high rate in early societies; however, man’s own violence against himself overwhelms this fact.
