Resumen
ARANEDA, Monserrat y ANDRADE, Pedro. Case study: conservation and osteobiographic analysis of bone material from the site Hornos de Cal, Costa de Taltal, north of Chile. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.3, pp.07-22. ISSN 1852-060X. http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v13.n3.27745.
Abstract The site Hornos de Cal corresponds to a shell midden located on the desert coast of Antofagasta, 16 km south of Taltal. It is a burial context made up of the burial of an adult individual with no associated offerings, dated to 6180-25 cal AP. The present work has an osteobiographical approach, where we try to relate data on sex, age, height, and bone pathologies of the individual to their temporal and cultural context. Given the presence of particular traits of this individual that differentiate him from his population context, we reflect on the need to consider these cases within bioarcheological reconstructions, as they help to understand situations that within a population approach may go unnoticed.
