Resumen
LA VALLE, Esteban Martín; MOREY, Yanina; BERON, Francisca y FLENSBORG, Gustavo. Bioarchaeological study of rescue contexts from Río Negro Province: A contribution for the revalorization of human remains. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.134-149. ISSN 1853-1296.
The objective of this work is to present the measures of preventive conservation applied in a set of human remains of the Collection Acta Nº 102, coming from several rescues from northeastern of the Río Negro province, as well as the results of the bioarchaeological analyses. The implemented procedures allowed to order and generate a greater completeness of the anatomical units. Taphonomic studies indicate different post-depositional histories, which generated different states of bone preservation. The presence of a minimum number of 22 individuals, belonging to both sexes and different age-at-death (last weeks of gestation to adult) was observed. This work allowed obtaining information in archaeological contexts disturbed by current anthropogenic activities that is indispensable for the revaluation of deteriorated osteological sets. The return of human remains to indigenous societies is promoted and interaction between different social actors and institutions is encouraged.
